  * Drop python2.5 as a supported Python version

    - 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

  * Start Python Policy updates for Wheezy
    - Document current practice to not provide /usr/bin/python2
    - Strengthen warning aginst using /usr/bin/env python     
    - Update paths section for python2.7 and python3

  - 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)
