making python-jabber2.{1,2} would let it, but is it the correct way? if you want to support multiple python versions, yes. You could also make a python-jabber package which depended on the newest python version you support. That way a user can just use python-jabber and let the upgrades

4suite is obviously updating the python search path to add its modules, the modules should be added at the front of the list and not the end where they seem to be added. This really sucks. I don't have in mind any package that requires the removal of the old version in order to build.

They should be known by dpkg because they're part of the package. It's impossible to support more than just the currently installed versions anyway. Once a new version of python is added, the package will still need to be updated or at least reinstalled to compile the modules for the new

I have filed an ITP for pyAda which is an Ada wrapper to allow Python to be embedded and extended with Ada. Since pyada contains no python code I was going to name the package pyada instead of python-pyada, or am I wrong about the usage of 'python-' in a package name. pyAda is the well
