Hi, A quick note first, as I noticed the subject was updated to reference 0.8.8... That version isn't a valid candidate right now in any case, as it FTBFS on approximately half the architectures - see https://buildd.debian.org/status/package.php?p=python-apt

Unfortunately, that debdiff never made it to debian-release@ due to the size of the diff. Extracting it from the BTS and excluding *.po{,t}, tests/* and the disabled module brings it down to 20 files changed, 523 insertions(+), 92 deletions(-) which is a little more manageable. A good chunk of that diff appears to be data file / documentation updates, the changelog and some Python 3 string-handling fixes. The rest of the fixes look sane enough. > It would be great to know the direction, I uploaded a version of > python-apt 0.8.8 to sid in the meantime with some more fixes.

Whilst I agree that reducing code duplication is generally a good thing, for wheezy the practical difference is presumably none given that nothing outside of python-apt itself would be using the code?
