(closes: #686358)

  - rewrite shebangs by default (disable via --no-shebang-rewrite),
    examples:
     + "/usr/bin/env python*" → "/usr/bin/python*"
     + "/usr/local/bin/python foo" → "/usr/bin/python foo"
     + "/usr/bin/python2" → "/usr/bin/python"
  - new --shebang option to replace all shebangs in bin dirs
    (example: --shebang /usr/bin/python2.6)

dh_python2: remove even more \.so.* dangling symlinks, thanks to Stefano Rivera for providing a test case

packages)

  - 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

* no longer moves .so.foo files to pyshared dir (closes: 635316)
* replaces .so symlinks with .so.foo files in dist-packages

update dirs item anme after fixing .egg-info directory name (thanks to Arnaud Fontaine for the patch)

pkgremove script, use --clean-pycentral if you want the old behaviour

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 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)
