[Python-modules-team] Bug#483197: Pre-depends are no solution

[Josselin Mouette]

Hi,

using Pre-Depends to fix this bug is not going to work. Furthermore, it
is a policy violation for having added it without discussion on
debian-devel.

The real issue here is that pyversions is not reliable. You should
achieve a much better result by using $(readlink /usr/bin/python).

(I guess python-gnome2, from which this code was copied, has the same
issue, but it remained under the radar as the gnome-vfs python method is
very rarely used.)

Cheers,
