The metadata is both insufficient and incorrect, and it is not possible to use it to generate the list of packages needing a rebuild. You can still argue about the contrary and generate a wrong list, but I doubt it will be useful to anyone. > One goal of the last python transition was to ease transitions and > migrations between unstable and testing.

If they are removed, then most python:Provides fields MUST be removed as well. Otherwise, you might have easier transitions, but wrong dependencies. -- .''`. : :' : We are debian.org.
