Doesn't the pysnmp 3.x-series have a very unstable API? And is the
3.x-series still under development? I guess the right thing to do is
to make sure pykota uses the stable pysnmp 2.x-series until a new
stable 4.x-series is ready?
I'm not involved in the packaging of pysnmp, but I guess packaging the
3.x- 4.x-series as separate packages sounds like a good idea if we
really want the version 3 and 4 in Debian before upstream freezes
their API.
Jan Luebbe <jluebbe@lasnet.de>, which is the maintainer for
python-pysnmp2, has probably also been thinking about this as he has
declared a conflict with python-pysnmp3 and python-pysnmp4 for his
python-pysnmp2 package.

I'm already a member of this team and plan to move my python packages
into the teams SVN-repository. You should probably ask Jan Luebbe if
you want to team-main python-pysnmp2, 3 and/or 4 within the Python
Modules team [1] on Alioth.
