One final issue:

Tracking python module dependencies has been an ongoing and hotly debated
topic since forever with no implementation in sight. The automagic dependency
exraction that I enabled (from nalin, or at least based on nalin's other autodeps
frameworks) for python was _PURELY_ a place holder to show where better
could and should be done, so I could put a checkmark as "completed" for
an automated dependency extraction framework for python modules.

Short answer:
    Provides: python(abi) = 2.6
is utter smoke-and-mirrors. Better MUST be done for self assembling dependency
assertions used by depsolvers for python-* module tracking.

python(abi) autodetection needed for all .py[co] files, not just those beneath /usr/lib*/python*
