in the general paragraph (the first one, for the source package) of

all currently supported Python versions (Note: This does not include any
Python 3 versions).

It is used to express both Python and Python 3 versions. Support for
Python 3 versions cannot be implicitly defined, it must always be
explicit. It is not necessary to express <tt><< 3.0</tt> because this is
always true when Python versions are specified.

all currently supported Python versions.
It is notably used to track packages during Python transitions,
and is also used by some packaging scripts to automatically
generate appropriate Depends and Provides lines. The format of the
field may be one of the following:
<example>
XS-Python-Version: >= X.Y
XS-Python-Version: >= 2.Y, >= 3.Y
XS-Python-Version: >= A.B, << X.Y
XS-Python-Version: A.B, X.Y
XS-Python-Version: all
XS-Python-Version: all, >= 3.1
</example>
The keyword "all" means that the package supports any Python
version available but might be deprecated in the future since
using version numbers is clearer than "all" and encodes more
information. The keyword "all" is limited to Python versions and
must be ignored for Python 3 versions.
</p>
<p>
The keyword "current" has been deprecated and used to mean that
the package would only have to support a single version (even
across default version changes). It must be ignored for Python 3
