Hi,

In the Bug#538978 report at #47, Piotr Ozarowski mentioned as:
  "python3 package in experimental (3.3.0-2) contains pybuild tool ..."
  https://bugs.debian.org/538978#47

This pybuild command is now a part of his new package dh-python available
in testing/unstable which also provides dh_python2 and dh_python3
command.

In light of this new dh-python package, questions are: 
  * Should we keep these Bug#538978 and Bug#596807 open for debhelper?
    (If this is out-of-scope for debhelper like dh-autoreconf case, we
     may as well reassign these bugs and let dh-python to close these.)

  * Is there anything required for debhelper to work with dh-python
    better?
    (I mean, can we make "--buildsystem=pybuild" default so we can drop
     this part of line when "--with python2,python3" are used
     and dh-python is installed?)

Regards,

Osamu
