Since the build-dep approach should have agreement from all the helper maintainers before it moves forward, I think it would be a good first step to mark pyversions deprecated (initially in favor of XS-* and later in favor of the build depends approach) and leave it up to package maintainers if they care to change in the near term. >> What about XB-Python-Version, is this field still useful? > >The only thing that used it was python-central, and it now stores the >information on-disk, in /usr/share/pyshared-data/$package.
