Hi, Ok, I have read that too. 2.1.1 (and 2.0.1) are officially GPL compatible. I would be nice to have all Python related packages depend on a specific python version (Depends: python-base (>= 1.5.2), python-base (<< 2.0)), because with the current approach for Python in Debian there can be only one .pyc file around.
