For the scope:

emilio@titan:~$ grep-dctrl -s Package -F Depends python-support
/var/lib/apt/lists/ftp.debian.org_debian_dists_unstable_main_binary-amd64_Packages
| pkg2src | sort -u | wc -l
473
emilio@titan:~$ grep-dctrl -s Package -F Build-Depends python-support
/var/lib/apt/lists/ftp.debian.org_debian_dists_unstable_main_source_Sources | wc -l
433

(build-rdeps gives 577, not sure why)

Nothing depends on python-central (it's even gone from sid and testing).

Regards,
Emilio
