Advene package - python2 packaging issues

[Olivier Aubert]

Hello

Thanks for the examples (lash does not seem to have switched though).
However, looking at them does not help: the package currently in git at
git://git.debian.org/git/pkg-multimedia/advene.git
compiles perfectly with pysupport.  If I remove the 
DEB_PYTHON_SYSTEM=pysupport
line, CDBS does not seem to grok that it is a python package, and does
not invoke dh_python2 at all (although it even invokes dh_perl at some
stage).
What are the heuristics or parameters used by CDBS to determine that it
should call dh_python2?
