Package: python-support
Version: 0.6.3
Severity: important

While working on thuban I used this control file:

http://svn.debian.org/wsvn/pkg-grass/packages/thuban/trunk/debian/control?op=file&rev=0&sc=0

introducing the alternative field

Python-Depends: python-wxgtk2.6 (>= 2.6.3), python-sqlite (>= 0.4), 
python-xmlbase 

The resulting Depends field is:

Depends: libc6 (>= 2.3.6-6), libgcc1 (>= 1:4.1.1-12), libgdal1-1.4.0, 
libstdc++6 (>= 4.1.1-12), 
        libwxbase2.6-0 (>= 2.6.3.2.1.5),
        libwxgtk2.6-0 (>= 2.6.3.2.1.5), 
        proj (>= 4.4.1-1),
        python2.5-xmlbase, 
        python2.5-wxgtk2.6, 
        python2.5-sqlite,
        python-xmlbase, 
        python-sqlite (>= 0.4), 
        python2.4-wxgtk2.6,
        python-support (>= 0.2), 
        python2.4-xmlbase, 
        python-wxgtk2.6 (>=2.6.3), 
        python (>= 2.4), 
        python2.4-sqlite,
        gdal-bin (>= 1.3.2-1)

Note that it depends on ALL alternative versions for 2.4 and 2.5 - which are 
the pyversions I declared (2.4-). 
It should depend in OR from those alternatives, not requiring the
installation of all damn per-python version modules AFAIK. 
For instance in this case:

python2.5-wxgtk2.6 | python-wxgtk2.6
python2.5-xmlbase | python-xmlbase
python2.5-sqlite | python-sqlite

So currently the Python-Provides field is simply unusable IMHO.
