YEAP -- one mighty helper would be better than many less mighty. Even: one mighty helper would be better than 2 mighty, because we hate duplication and trying to reduce our maintenance effort. But ATM, is there any source/documentation which could give me a clear answer why pysupport sucks and dh_python2 rules (or why should I care about python_support -> dh_python2)? I am asking because I have a few packages which use pysupport now and it seems to work (so it is the mighty for me)... not sure if I am ready to invest time into doing a conversion which has some plausible benefits which I could not sense right away. > Even though it will eventually all be made moot by the retirement of Python 2 > <wink>, especially then -- both could die in peace sooner or later ;-) > As my previous message stated, we're on a mission to remove python-support and > python-central from the Ubuntu CDs.
