Debhelper 7, Python package, multiple binary packages (was: RFS: python-coverage 3.0.1-1)

Can someone point me to an existing package that: * uses ‘debhelper’ vversion 7 or later (i.e. uses the implied-sequence ‘dh’ command instead of explicit lists of ‘dh_foo’ commands) * uses ‘python-support’ * creates multiple packages, preferably including a ‘foo-dbg’ package I can't find any package that does all of those, but can't really do better than guess and manually check source packages with trial and error.
