-HOWTO convert package to python-central
-=======================================
-
-1) debian/control
-
-  * source package:
-    - add XS-Python-Version: header with list of python versions that package
-      supports. Examples: all / >=2.3 / 2.3, 2.4 / >=2.3, <<2.6 / current
-    - extend Build-Depends: header with:
-        debhelper (>= 5.0.38), python-all-dev (>= 2.3.5-11), python-central (>= 0.5.6)
-    - for Egg support (optional) extend Build-Depends: header with:
-        python-setuptools (>= 0.6b3-1)
-  * binary package:
-    - add/extend headers:
-        Depends: ${python:Depends}
-        XB-Python-Version: ${python:Versions}
-    - change Architecture: to "all" ("any" if package contains arch dep files)
-    - if previous package version had python2.X-foo packages, add:
-        Conflicts: python2.X-foo (<< current_version)
-        Replaces: python2.X-foo (<< current_version)
-    - extend Provides: header with:
-      + ${python:Provides} if your package is arch "any"
-      + list of pythonX.Y-foo packages that external packages still depend on [1]
-  * remove python2.X-foo binary packages
-
-2) debian/rules
-
-  * build modules for all python versions specified in XS-Python-Version, example rules:
-      PYVERS=$(shell pyversions -vr)
-      build: $(PYVERS:%=build-python%)
-          touch $@
-      build-python%:
-          python$* setup.py build
-	  touch $@
-      install: build $(PYVERS:%=install-python%)
-      install-python%:
-          python$* setup.py install --root $(CURDIR)/debian/python-foo
-  * replace dh_python with dh_pycentral in binary rule
-  * If the public modules can't be shared, add
-      export DH_PYCENTRAL=nomove
-    at the top of debian/rules
-  * Egg support (optional):
-    - add "--single-version-externally-managed" option to setup.py install command
-    - remove python's version from Egg's dirname
-    - remove *-nspkg.pth file
-
-3) debian/{postinst,prerm}
-
-  * remove unneeded postinst and prerm files, debhelper will generate them now
-
-4) example packages

-
-  # package without .so files
-  apt-get source pyparallel
-
-  # package with .so files
-  apt-get source python-imaging
-
-  # package with .so files and Egg support
-  apt-get source pyenchant

-[1] remove that list as soon as external packages will depend on python-foo only
