Package: debian-policy Version: 3.6.1.0 Severity: wishlist Hi,
there was more than one discussion about the Debian Python policy draft, http://people.debian.org/~joss/python/python-policy-draft.txt I try to summerize the different discussion we had about it: - "makes transitions of new versions of python into testing a screaming nightmare" - see http://groups.google.de/groups?selm=1aXSL-6Dn-3%40gated-at.bofh.it for this statement of Colin Watson (The same is valid for backporting a single python application to stable.) - the document recommends forward conflicts quite too often. Forward conflicts should be avoided. I can't e.g. see for myself why an simple application like imediff2 or moosic (or many others) needs to conflict with python >= 2.4. I hope that I spotted out the most discussed issues, and I hope that we are able together to solve these problems.
