Package: vmtk
Version: 0.9.0-1
Severity: normal
Tags: patch

Is there any reason that this package states "XS-Python-Version: 2.6" ?
XS-Python-Version is supposed to state the versions of python that the
source supports. Then pysupport will allow it to work with the
intersection of distro-supported and package-supported Python versions.

Does it not support 2.7?
Does it not support 2.5?

As far as I can tell, the upstream code-base supports >= 2.3 [0]

[0]: http://www.vmtk.org/Main/Installation

So I suggest:
> XS-Python-Version: >= 2.3

Thanks,
