Bug#624321: libconfig-model-perl: Doesn't know about control fields for Python packages

[Stefano Rivera]

Package: libconfig-model-perl
Version: 1.241-1
Severity: wishlist

Tried the using config-edit to check for ancient dependencies on a
package with lots of verisoned dependencies, as described in [0]:

$ config-edit -application dpkg -ui none
...
In control source: (function 'element_type') unknown element 'X-Python-Version' (configuration class 'Debian::Dpkg::Control::Source')
	Expected: 'Source','Maintainer','Uploaders','Section','Priority','Build-Depends','Build-Depends-Indep','Standards-Version','Vcs-Browser','Vcs-Arch','Vcs-Bzr','Vcs-Cvs','Vcs-Darcs','Vcs-Git','Vcs-Hg','Vcs-Mtn','Vcs-Svn','DM-Upload-Allowed','Homepage'

X-Python-Version is used by pyversions to determine the versions of Python
supported by the package. [1]

I suppose, if you do support this, it would be nice to migrate
XS-Python-Version / debian/pyversions to X-Python-Version.
X-Python-Version requires a BD on python{,-all}{,-dev,-dbg} (>= 2.6.5-13~)
