No. That only applies for packages that are in *stable* (with
python-central) and are now in testing/unstable (with python-support).
If the pacakge (it's an ITP so it was *never* in Debian) switches from
central to support in testing/unstable is not needed. Document a bit
better before suggesting such methods when not needed.
