Debian Python Policy
Appendix A - Build Dependencies

Build dependencies for Python dependent packages must be declared for every Python version that the package is built for. The python-all-dev should be used when building modules for any or all Python versions. To build for a specific version or versions, Build-Depend on pythonX.Y-dev.

Some applications and pure Python modules may be able to depend only on python or python-all and not require the -dev packages.

Build-Depend on at least:

     Build-Depends: python2.3 (>= 2.3-1)
     Build-Depends: python2.4 (>= 2.4-1)
     Build-Depends: python (>= 2.3.5-7)
     Build-Depends: python-all
     
     Build-Depends: python2.3-dev (>= 2.3-1)
     Build-Depends: python2.4-dev (>= 2.4-1)
     Build-Depends: python-dev (>= 2.3.5-7)
     Build-Depends: python-all-dev

If you use either python-support or python-central you must additionally Build-Depend on those. If you are using dh_python at all, you must Build-Depend on python, as debhelper does not depend on it.
