Dear all,
If you can't resist the urge to convert your packages from
python-support to dh_python2, then please at least:
1) Test your packages. Don't assume that the helper you use does the
right thing. Sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't.
2) Do not skip the "Before you begin"[0] step. This is very important:
if two packages share a namespace, either both or none of them must use
python-support. Also, it's not enough just to convert them all to
dh_python2: you must make sure (using Breaks or Depends relationships)
that you cannot co-install an older python-support-based versions
together with dh_python2-based ones.
I set up a page to track this kinds of issues in unstable[2] and
testing[3]. Please note that I analyse only package contents, not
relationships. The tracker is updated daily. (Any volunteers to file
bugs?)
