Ryan is mistaken that this affects the python transition, as I said on
IRC this morning. The version of yehia in testing has only one package
which depends on python in any way, and that depends on python2.1. yehia
in testing will NOT be broken by the python transition.
libgc affects other things, chiefly libsigc++, but not python2.3.
