python-support removal effort
One of the things discussed at the DebConf 15 Python Bof was
python-support.
Following on from the MBF on packages still using python-support, some
of us at DebConf, have held some mini-BSPs to team-upload/NMU affected
packages.
You can see & join the progress here:
http://whiteboard.debian.net/python-support-removal.wb
Current content below.
Please pick a few packages, and work through them. If we all do a few,
we should be able to get them done. We've uploaded about 100 packages,
there are still 200 odd open bugs.

Dump from our whiteboard:
> Bugs: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?tag=pysupport-deprecation;users=debian-python@lists.debian.org
> Instructions: https://wiki.debian.org/Python/TransitionToDHPython2
>
> take a bug, mention it here (so that nobody else works on it the same time), dput --delayed 2
>
> - make necessary changes (don't fix other issues), add a changelog entry
> - build the package
> - run lintian, only check pysupport tags and tags like source-nmu-has-incorrect-version-number
> - get the previous version (e.g. apt install -d), run debdiff for both .deb
> - install the package, test it (by importing/running at least)
> - nmudiff --delay 2, read the attached diff (instead of running debdiff manually with two .dsc), send
> - dput --delayed 2
>
> If lowNMU then just upload but still send nmudiff --nodelay. If team-maintained then commit and upload (if a team member). If collab-maint - ??? (still a NMU).
>
> cdbs pro-tip: just drop "DEB_PYTHON_SYSTEM = pysupport" in debian/rules, cdbs defaults to dh_python2. (if the binary package name starts with python-)
>
> Note that we decided to stop adding (>= 2.6.6-3~)
>
> Example changelog entries:
> agtl (0.8.0.3-1.1) unstable; urgency=medium
>
> * Non-maintainer upload.
> * Port from python-support to dh_python (Closes: #XXXXXX)
> * Drop unnecessary XB-Python-Versions.
> * Replace pyversions with X-Python-Version.
> * Drop pycompat, unused.
