Matthias Klose, in his eagerness to get rid of python2.3, uploaded a 0-day NMU, with no warning, for gnucash forcing it to use python 2.4. He has not (as yet) responded to my email asking him what if any verification he did that this does not introduce a regression into gnucash. I do not have time to do such a verification anytime soon.
If this introduced a regression, then the only fix is to go back to python2.3. Accordingly, python2.3 should not be removed from Debian until the *maintainers* of the depending packages actually say "we don't need it anymore". Matthias decreeing that everybody doesn't need it, and making it seem like the dependencies have gone away through unwarned NMUs, does *not* serve as a suitable replacement for actually working with the relevant maintainers. Moreover, it is *way* too late in the etch release cycle to decree that we must all switch to a new version of python. Thomas
