I can upload new python-support this weekend with one minor bug fixed
(the one fixed in svn) and a deprecation warning (with a link to
http://wiki.debian.org/Python/PythonSupportToDHPython2 and a note that
it's not a bad idea to wait with a conversion until python2.7 will be
the only supported Python version in Debian).
The next step would be to file deprecation bugs, but I'd wait with that
till 2.6 removal from python-all's Depends.
I can also disable moving .py files to /usr/shre/pyshared in dh_python2
if there's only one supported Python version (I cannot do that now as we
still want dpkg to detect file conflicts with python-support based
packages)
