I'm wondering if we really need a dh_pysupport wrapper or if we should just fix the packages instead. And easier transition would be to provide dh_pycentral and ph_pysupport wrappers which just do the right thing, together with a lintian error telling people that they need to fix their packages. And of course upload transitional -central and -support packages.
