Coin, First, asking people should change the /usr/bin/python symlink is nonsense as this select the current Python version, as selected by the python maintainer as considered the stable version in Debian. Applications using 'python' may not work with other versions correctly, so you may not change it as it could break other apps in your system, only the python maintainer should change it in the 'python' package when a planned and prepared transition is going on.
Furthermore, your package does FTBFS because everything needed at clean time must be listed in Build-Depends, not Build-Depends-Indep ; then listing 'python' in -Indep is a mistake. Moreover, python-dev *is* needed to ensure distutils (required by setup.py for installation) would work correctly. Then, you should really listen carefully to -mentors and vorlon's advice before doing hasty and silly uploads. The current denyhosts-python2.4 now depends on python2.4 but has a executable file using 'python' in his shebang. You cannot assume people would have the 'python' package providing this symlink. Moreover having this versionning split is absolutely useless. Now please have a look at: http://wiki.debian.org/DebianPythonFAQ Please move your package to python-support and try to understand why this is food for your package, your users, and read the draft policy carefully too. You may join the Debian Python Modules Team and/or ask for help in the [EMAIL PROTECTED] channel. -- Marc Dequènes (Duck)
