Well, I have python 2.3.5-11 installed, and calling "pyversions -vr" 
clearly does read the debian/control file.  And if I change the file, 
it gives a different answer on the next run.  So either 
pyversions --help is incorrect or the whole tool is just not 
well-defined.  In either case, I'm not inclined to fix anything in the 
cdbs class.
