That's probably the best approach. There are very few times when
having an language-unversioned bundle for a library is useful. OTOH,
if you're going to abolish a package, look through the current dists
for anything that depends on it, as all of these will need to be
updated. This also givs you an opportunity to see if the thing really
is needed...maybe someone uses it when an actual -pyXX variant would
be more correct, so you wind up improving other pkgs along the way.
