* to ease detecting packages that need binNMU?
* to make it simpler for package maintainers ("my module needs Python
>=2.4 - lets build depend on it" instead of "where the heck
is XS-P-V / debian/pyversion's syntax described?")
* to make it easier for dh/cdbs maintainers?
Anyway, I don't care about it that much, it will not make any difference
if we decide to support all 3 approaches or only existing two (both
previous ones has to be supported at the beginning anyway).
