The version list comes from /usr/share/python/debian_defaults
"supported-versions", which is 2.6 and 2.7 in sid. In sid,
'old-versions' goes back to 2.3.

I doubt that python-support intends to support anything higher than
2.7x. There is a python3 debian_defaults file in the python3-minimal
package, but it is stored in a different location.

So, listing the two files should be fine for a piuparts that won't run
on anything older than testing. otherwise, it works better as a regex
that can handle 2.x and either 'dist-packages' or 'site-packages'.
