It seems the recent change to drop the python dependency from python2.3 has broken a large number of package builds. The affected packages usually have Build-Depends on python2.3 and assume that will mean python is also installed.
I'm planning to start filing bugs on these packages in a few days. In the meantime, it would be a good idea for maintainers of Python packages to use pbuilder to check whether their packages still build or not. -- Daniel Schepler "Please don't disillusion me.
