Interesting. The GSoc page does not have any relevant links, so for anyone interested:

So, perhaps a rewrite in C or Perl, and we're done.

I could see that being worthwhile if an install of Debian didn't already pull in support for the language it was written in, but is it really feasible to make a Python-less system these days?

I guess we should run this script at build-time, and most of the build tools are written in Perl, and a standard Debian chroot for build servers does not have Python installed. Rewriting it in Perl as a debhelper tool would be useful.
