[xml/sgml-pkgs] Bug#631416: python-libxml2: convert to dh_python2?

[Colin Watson]

Package: python-libxml2
Version: 2.7.8.dfsg-3
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch
User: ubuntu-devel at lists.ubuntu.com
Usertags: origin-ubuntu ubuntu-patch oneiric

In Ubuntu 11.10, we'd like to eliminate python-support and
python-central from the Python packages on our CDs, and consolidate on
dh_python2:

  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BarryWarsaw/PythonHelpers
  http://wiki.debian.org/Python/PythonSupportToDHPython2

We don't yet have a consensus on deprecating python-support in Debian.
Nevertheless, dh_python2 is usable as of squeeze.  Would you be willing
to apply this patch to switch to it?

  * Convert to dh_python2.
