are a serious problem for upgrades, as the previous upload demonstrated.
Instead, we allow a circular dependency between python2.7-minimal and
python-minimal, and rely on the fact that the package manager ensures

the first version shipping a pycompile that supports passing a -V option
referring to a version python-minimal doesn't already know about.
