The following commit has been merged in the piatti branch:
commit 7e76d1db53989e42e85529d8f2ea6f0a682634d9
Author: David Steele <dsteele at gmail.com>

    Add exception for python-support broken symlinks.
    
    python-support creates symlinks upon install under /usr/lib/pythonx.y,
    for all supported versions of python, whether installed or not.
    If the version is not installed, the symlink is broken (#635493).
    If a supported python version subsequently uninstalled, the symlink
    is left dangling (#385775). Fixing this involves changes across
    packages that are unlikely to happen for a deprecated package.
