Indeed, the package doesn't have the Python-Version field (but others packages
that
use python-central have it):
$ dpkg-deb -f /var/cache/apt/archives/python-ropemacs_0.6c2-3_all.deb | grep
Python-Version
$ dpkg-deb -f /var/cache/apt/archives/python-pysqlite2_2.5.0-2_i386.deb | grep
Python-Version
Python-Version: 2.4, 2.5
$
The problem is related to the values of the XB-Python-Version and Depends fields
inside the debian/control (see the small patch attached that fixes the problem).
