Hello,

thank you for the hand-holding.

Hugin already does point dh_python to the respective subdirectory[1] and
dh_python adds postinst/prerm scripts to hugin*. The cleanup therefore
happens when hugin ins uninstalled or upgraded. Alexandre would like to
have the cleanup unrelated to hugin upgrade on python-3.12-removal.

So this sounds like a feature request for dh-python.
