  - generates rtupdate scripts for private directories that compile files
    from given package only, add --compile-all to dh_python2's call if you
    want the old behaviour (i.e. compile also files (plugins?) provided by
    other packages, which do not use a helper/bytecompile them)
* pyclean now accepts --package and private dir argument at the same time

creation, use "--namespace bar.foo" instead

(it is replaced with python-pkg-resources Debian dependency)

shebangs, byte-compile the dir with default Python version (or the one
requested via X-Python-Version) instead od failing. Add dependency for
each (supported) interpreter detected in shebangs

Debian dependencies

  [ Scott Kitterman ]
  * Drop python2.5 as a supported Python version
    - Update debian/debian_defaults
    - Update debpython/version.py
    - Update debian/control.in

dh_python2 parses Egg's namespace_packages.txt files (in addition to
--namespace command line argument(s)) and drops empty __init__.py files
from binary package. pycompile will regenerates them at install time and
pyclean will remove them at uninstall time (if they're no longer used in
installed packages

  * Add python2.7 as a supported Python version.
  * python-all{,-dev,-dbg}: Depend on the 2.7 packages.
  * Run the rtinstall script, when 2.7 became a supported version (2.6.6-13)
    and python2.7 is installed.
  * Python-minimal Breaks python-support (<< 1.0.12)

    - Drop python2.7 from supported versions, not ready for Python transition
      yet

add maintainer scripts if .py files are installed directly into /usr/share/pyshared

  - use Depends: python (<< 2.X), python (>= 2.Y) rather than Breaks
    in packages with public modules (after a discussion on debian-devel
    mailing list)

- make egg-info files/dirs searches case insensitive (closes: #614910)

dh_python2: fix parsing .pyinstall files (a space between file name and module name is now required)

dh_python2

    - Don't over-optimize, check the timestamps of byte-code files.
    - Use the correct name for byte-code files.
    - Add an option -f/--force.
    - Copy stdout/stderr of py_compile processes in case of error.
    - Propagate the exit value of the py_compile processes.
    - Update manual page.
  * Bump depends to require the fixed pycompile for dh_python2 based package
    builds.
  * Don't touch the standard python library in rtupdate scripts.
