Hi everyone, a bit more than a year ago, we started the transition of python-apt API by including the new one while still providing the old one for the transition. I have done a mass bug filing, and most packages are fixed now[1] (and yes, one of the unfixed packages is maintained by me, but it's not that important, and was never in stable, and will be updated soon). In this bug filing we announced that we would stop supporting the old API after the squeeze release. Now, after giving some extra time, we want to make that change and disable the old API, to detect further breakage and get it fixed (better now than later in the release cycle). Thus, we'd like to hear the release teams opinion on when we should disable the API, in case there are ongoing transitions where such a change would not help.
