Because this package depends on python (<< 2.5), and the new version will depend on python (>= 2.5). This implies that python-defaults and hk-classes have to both migrate to testing together. This is already hard enough when all such packages can be binNMUed, but having many packages that all require manual intervention will simply delay the migration endlessly. > > > That wouldn't be of any practical value, unless you propose to also build > > > alternate versions of the other binary packages linked against each of > > > the available python versions.

I don't see why this wouldn't be feasible. Still, that's not my primary concern. Please make at least your package binNMUable. Currently, I see it as one of the blockers for python 2.5 in Debian. -- .''`. Josselin Mouette /\./\ : :' : [EMAIL PROTECTED] `. `' [EMAIL PROTECTED] `- Debian GNU/Linux -- The power of freedom
