python-central (and Debian packaging guidelines for Python) does it all for
you as you upgrade. Since those changes were made, and we no longer have
version-specific Python library packages, I've never had to do anything
manual to get a Python library to work with a particular version of Python.
It "just works" for versions of Python that you have installed.
