I agree it is a better solution than a separate database.
I intend to make python-support use a .pyvers file listing the supported versions. This file would be generated by dh_python, when using dh_python -m 2.2 (for just a minimal version) or copied from debian/$package.pyvers. Having a new field in the control file diverges from how debhelper programs usually behave, so I'd like to avoid such a solution - and I don't think there's a need for it. The code is mostly written, but the dh_python integration isn't. I'd also like to remove the "installed" database, I've discussed ways to work without this one with the RMs. Regards, -- .''`.
