    dh: In v9, do not enable any python support commands.
    
    dh_pysupport has started emitting a deprecation warning, which is
    very annoying since it clutters every build that uses dh -- even builds
    where it doesn't do anything. Since there is not just a dh_python2, but
    also a dh_python3 waiting in the wings, this is clearly too volatile
    a situation for dh to try to support further.
    
    I considered making dh_python detect and run the right dh_python[23] helper
    -- a python helper helper as it were -- but 70-odd packages still use that
    command.
