Subject: infon-devel: deprecation of dh_pycentral, please use dh_python2

From: Matthias Klose <[email-masked]>

Package: src:infon-devel
Version: 0~r218-1
Severity: important
Tags: sid wheezy
User: [email-masked]
Usertags: pycentral-deprecation

The package build-depends on python-central, which should be
removed in time for the wheezy release.  dh_python2 should be used instead.
dh_python2 installs into the same locations as pycentral, but
avoids the creation and removal of symlinks at package installation
and removal time, making the upgrade process more robust and faster.
.
dh_python2 guarantees the installation into the same recommended site
directory used by dh_pycentral, into which anybody can install without
being forced to use any packaging helper tools.
.
Please find suggestions and help for the change at
http://wiki.debian.org/Python/PyCentral2DhPython2
.
Please file bug reports against dh_python2 for the python-dev package.
.
Consider waiting with this change until python2.7 is a supported
python version in unstable.  Test packages can already be built
in experimental (having the python-* packages from experimental installed).
