Coordinated effort to update python packages

Hello,

the Python team has agreed on a new policy [1]. As we want to do the
python 2.4 transition now, we need to make sure the packages match the
policy. This will limit the amount of broken packages when python2.4 will
become the default and will smooth this transition.

So please check in the list at the end of this mail if you're concerned,
and if yes, please update your packages following these instructions:
http://wiki.debian.org/DebianPython/NewPolicy
http://people.debian.org/~piman/python-policy/

If you don't have time to do this now, please reply on
debian-python@lists.debian.org and allow us to make NMU of your packages.
You could also take this opportunity to start maintaining the packages
within the team, see http://python-modules.alioth.debian.org/. We'll
gladly add you to the team, just request it on the mailing list.

In any case, a relaxed NMU policy has been authorized by the release
managers. On thursday we will start NMUing packages in this list. In the
mean time, we'll start with packages whose maintainers are listed on
http://wiki.debian.org/LowThresholdNmu and with the package of the team!

We will need your help to update such a large body of packages, please
join #debian-python and help out. We'll use a wiki page to coordinate the
work: http://wiki.debian.org/DebianPython/BSP
If you can take care of your own package, please indicate it the wiki
page as well.

For NMUers, always start by filling a bug report refering to this
announce, register the bug number and your intent to work on it in the
wiki page, do the work, send the patch to the BTS and upload the package
appropriately (using a DELAYED queue if needed).

For any question, please ask on debian-python@lists.debian.org or on
#debian-python (OFTC).

[1] http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2006/06/msg...
and
http://meetings-archive.debian.net/pub/debian-meetings/20...

Beware: there may be false positives in this list as it has been generated
by doing a list of sources packages that are generating a binary package
starting with "python-" and which do not have the new Python-Version
control field.
