Note that Ubuntu is going to remove python-support and python-central from its CDs in 11.04. Officially deprecating python-support (as I believe you are doing right here :) helps us recruit Ubuntu developers to help with this. We are going to be conducting an on-line sprint/jam this Thursday, and hopefully we'll get folks to contribute some patches. We'll make sure those patches are forwarded to Debian. >The next step would be to file deprecation bugs, but I'd wait with that >till 2.6 removal from python-all's Depends.

I suppose I can see why you'd want to wait on a mass conversion of pysupport->dhpy2 for this. But you'd also have to deal with this transition anyway for all the packages that already use pysupport, right? -Barry
