Package: python Version: 2.4.4-6 Severity: normal It would be convenient to have any previously-installed rtupdate scripts run at first install of python.
The use case is: a package that provides optional Python support may have an rtupdate script that is called by its postinst using "pyversions" to find the default runtime version. Since the Python support is optional, the package does not depend on python. In this case, its postinst script must skip the rtupdate if python is not available. When Python is subsequently installed, the rtupdate scripts of all previously-installed packages should be run.
