YEAP -- one mighty helper would be better than many less mighty. Even:
one mighty helper would be better than 2 mighty, because we hate
duplication and trying to reduce our maintenance effort. But ATM,
is there any source/documentation which could give me a clear answer why
pysupport sucks and dh_python2 rules (or why should I care about
python_support -> dh_python2)?
I am asking because I have a few packages which use pysupport now and it
seems to work (so it is the mighty for me)... not sure if I am
ready to invest time into doing a conversion which has some plausible
benefits which I could not sense right away.
