The only option for now is to use python-central with DH_PYCENTRAL=nomove. Apart from porting python-apt code to Python 3, this was the only change I had to do. As others already said, it's not possible to do this with python-support due to Bug#573560 which I reported while looking at converting python-apt to python-support, which I tried until I realized that python-support did not meet the requirements of python-apt. -- Julian Andres Klode - Debian Developer, Ubuntu Member See http://wiki.debian.org/JulianAndresKlode and http://jak-linux.org/.
