Sadly, we know python-central is broken, but luckily we have an
alternative: python-support!

We (as in Debian Python Modules/Apps Teams) are trying to suggest to
use python-support in all the packages that currently uses pycentral,
in particular in situations like this one, when central demonstrates
(another time, if needed) that's not the solution to the python
modules problem for Debian.

In the mean time I can pass a link [1] with a brief explanation of
what's the migration is about. If you need some more details and/or
support and help, you can reach us at #debian-python on OFTC IRC
network or on debian-python at l.d.o.
