Um, no.  This is broken and wrong, and ignores all the advice you were given
on debian-mentors.

The denyhosts-python2.3 and denyhosts-python2.4 packages now have an
undeclared conflict because they both ship the /usr/bin/denyhosts file.  And
this is only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to problems with this
packaging.  You seem to have ignored the entire thread on debian-mentors
explaining to you why it's wasteful and broken to ship separate versions of
an application for each python flavor.  Please revisit this packaging and
figure out how to provide what your users need with a single package, not
just adding overrides and conflicts to get by.
