Package: gamin
Version: 0.1.7-3
Severity: important

  Hi, your package has been detected as generating a (for most of that
mass bug fill: private) python module/extension that may need an upgrade
to the new Python Policy[1].

  A wiki page[2] explains what has to be done to upgrade your packages
to the new Policy. This bug may be a false positive, in that case,
please just close the bug.

  This bug is part of a mass bug filling, and its severity will be
raised to serious when python will default to python2.4 (which should
happend on tomorrow - Wed 2nd of July). Please note that this bug (even
not being RC) falls under the 0-day NMU policy.

Special Notes

  * embedded interpreters: You don't *need* to do anything for your
    package, though using XS/XB-Python-Version is much appreciated as it
    helps tracking your package for binNMUs when python2.4 will become
    default.

  * if you need help updating your package, you can either:
     - mail debian-python at lists.debian.org ,
     - tag your bug + help ,
     - come on #debian-python/OFTC.
