lintian's broken usr-share-doc-symlink-without-dependency check.
* python-all*: Tighten the dependencies on the python-* packages.
* Depend on python2.5-2.5.4.
* python: Install /usr/share/python/python.mk, helper functions for
getting the python library dir and install args for distutils installs.
* Accept initial blank line in debian/control when parsing version
information.
* python: Provide python-ctypes and python-wsgiref.
* python: Provide python-plistlib.
* python-minimal: Recommend python (suggested by Neil McGovern).
* Maintainer upload; asking the Release Team to better coordinate
things. Being in contact with two members of the release team for
two or three weeks when to upload without getting in the way of
other transitions, an unannounced upload of a third member of this
team is at least surprising.
* debian/python.postinst.in: Fix the bug introduced in the NMU, run the
rtupdate hooks when upgrading from a version < 2.5.2-1. Closes: #476095.
* NMU by the Release Team not to lose the sweet spot for the Python
transition.
* Make python2.5 the default Python version.

installed as an unsupported version.

for ldbl128 on alpha, powerpc, s390, sparc.
* Merge pyversions.py changes from python-central.
* Merge changes from Ubuntu:
- Add a sanity check, that /usr/bin/python points to the default
python version. Users tend to modify this symlink, which then
breaks stuff in obscure ways. Ubuntu #75557, closes: #418002.
- python-dbg: Provide python-gdbm-dbg, python-tk-dbg,
link to README.debug, SpecialBuilds.txt.gz.
- python-dev: Add an unversioned python-config binary (backport
from python2.5 (appears in python2.4 2.4.4-4).

* Let the preinst fail on the first failing pre-rtupdate hook,
after running the corresponding failed-pre-rtupdate hook.
* Reflect renaming of the docutils binaries. Closes: #377601.

and man page.

* On upgrade of the runtime to a new major version, call the hooks
(executable files) in /usr/share/python/runtime.d/*.rtupdate.
- in python.preinst, call the script with parameters
pre-rtupdate <old runtime> <new runtime>.
run all hooks, then return exit with the correct exit status.
- in python.postinst, call the script with parameters
rtupdate <old runtime> <new runtime>.
run all hooks, then return exit with the correct exit status.
- in python.postinst, call the script with parameters
post-rtupdate <old runtime> <new runtime>.
run all hooks, then return exit with the correct exit status.
* pyversions -r: If the XS-Python-Version field cannot be found in
debian/control, fall back to debian/pyversions for the version
information. Return with an error code, if the intersection of
the versions in debian/pyversions and the supported python versions
is empty. Fall back to the supported versions if no version
information can be found. Based on a patch from Raphael Hertzog.
* Reflect renaming of the docutils binaries. Closes: #377601.
* Tighten dependencies between packages built from this source.

* Add a pyversions script to give information about python versions and
parse the XS-Python-Version attribute.
* Change the default python version to 2.4.
* Depend on python-central.
* Add a package python-minimal. This package still depends on python2.3,
will depend on python2.4-minimal when changing the default python version.
* Add two dependency packages python-all and python-all-dev. These
packages are used as build dependencies to determine the set of
python version and implementations, which should be / currently are
supported. Currently it depends on python2.3 and python2.4. Future
versions may add an updated version of jython and ironpython.
