It was my understanding that this should be used for Python extensions. I think once we get to pyhton2.7 as the only supported python, it won't matter. I agree that ${python:Provides} is problematic, so we should consider how we will approach this problem in Python 3 (I don't know if we can/should handle it differently). I'm interested to hear what others have to say on the topic. Scott K -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-python-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
