The python policy implies that if you want to build something against the non-default python version, you need python-foo and python2.X-dev. Which means in this case, a python-dev dependency should be enough. This would avoid pulling several interpreter versions when not needed. -- Josselin Mouette /\./\ "Do you have any more insane proposals for me?"
