Binary package hint: keysafe

All of the ubuntu changes from the previous version have been merged
into debian. There is 1 ubuntu change that will 'kind of' be dropped:

This is how ubuntu did the python 2.6 transition:
-#! /usr/bin/env python2.4
+#! /usr/bin/python

This is how debian did it:
-#! /usr/bin/env python2.4
+#! /usr/bin/env python

Please read http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-
list/2008-May/489190.html The short answer is: debian's python call
method is better because it doesn't single out a particular location.
Case: User installs python to weird directory and fixes PATH but
/usr/bin/python links to the one they don't want to use. A package
should not assume it's language interpreter will always be located at
that location.
