This has never been done in a practical way. The primary reason why this doesn’t work is that it is a declarative field that so many packages get wrong it is not possible to use it. For the past python transitions that we had to handle, the build-dependencies and dependencies turned out to contain much more accurate information, although not complete. > The python-support maintainer's decision to undermine this doesn't represent > best practices, it represents his personal opinion. Despite all your claims, X[SB]-Python-Version headers have never been more than an implementation detail for python-central. Cheers, -- .''`.
