This is getting built on the proper python version after doko's rebuild. The problem is, it still depends on python << 2.7.

Your change to XS-P-V is incorrect, that variable states which versions of python the source code supports, >=2.5 includes 2.7.

Do we really need the python version restrictions in Depends? The package depends on Python:Versions, which means python-support should handle this for us.

In fact, here's a patch that should do the right thing

BTW, I also see some .pyc files in hplip-data, I'll raise that with Debian.

It was only Bilal's patch which I uploaded. Stefano's version seems the better solution for me. I will upload that one now. Especially it is better as the source package is identically used in Debian and Debian perhaps did not switch over to Python 2.7 yet.

Stefano, the problem with the shipped .pyc files I have fixed now for both Debian and Ubuntu. The fix is committed to the Debian SVN repository of HPLIP and also applied to the Ubuntu package -0ubuntu6. It should also appear in the next HPLIP package in Debian unstable. So no bug report at Debian needed any more.

Till, is the correct fix not to get pysupport to manage
/usr/share/hplip/ ?

(Or even better, migrate to dh_python2, and get it to)

Either of those should remove .pyc files during the build, and
automatically build them in postinst, and rebuild them when the system's
default python version changes. (Private module mode)
