Or by making dh_python (or whatever we'll end up using) check if an
adequate dependency is already there and not generate a duplicate
one. Which would then have to fail if the other dependency conflicts
with what dh_python does think it should be. :)
Seriously, this might be useful for the little library that Raphael
proposed for the shared dependency generation.

No, python-gnome2 already depends on python-support which has this requirement. I think this is rather a bug in python. The preinst calls the hooks, while the pyversions.py script is held in python-minimal, and there is no Pre-Depends: on python-minimal. -- .''`.

Yes and generate an annoying lintian warning. :)

By depending on python (>= 2.3.5-6), ${python:Depends}, which will duplicate
a dependency but still work?

Pyversions is mainly used at build-time and not at installation time.
Whatever requires pyversions (and in this case python-gnome2) should be
depending on the first version of python that provides it (and now the
good question: how do you do that while still using ${python:Depends}?).
