I think so, I wouldn't have submitted it else. python-support is not yet finished, you agreed to changes, which aren't documented besides on #irc. IMO it's better to propose these changes first and agree on them. Other comments have been posted on debian-python as well. It's much more work to adjust / reupload packages, than reverting back to the old dh_python for now and continue the development in experimental. At least another developer did express this opinion on debian-python as well. Matthias
