[Python-modules-team] Bug#582054: Incorrect value in XS-Python-Version. Should be >= 2.5

[Stefano Rivera]

Package: python-traitsbackendqt
Version: 3.3.0-1
Severity: normal
Tags: patch

debian/control contains
XS-Python-Version: >=2.4

But source contains Python 2.5isms:

Thus it fails to install on systems that still have python2.4 installed.

I recommend you either set XS-Python-Version: >= 2.5 in debian/control or
$ echo 2.5- > debian/pyversions
