above is an email from an exchange between myself and the maintainer of
python-biggles. i told him that python policy says his source package
should produce a python-biggles package that works with the default
version of python. he thinks that it is not useful. he also said that
he thought python policy was unclear on this issue.

what do you guys think?

I thought them optional too, I only recently added python-pyopenssl (so
recently that it's in NEW).

This I don't agree with, though. :) It definitely makes sense to have a
package that works with the default Python version, less number juggling
for the user.

As I said above, I think it's unclear too, and should be more precise.
Is it the intention that if you have pythonX.Y-foo and pythonZ.W-foo you
*may*, *should* or *must* have a python-foo package?
