Matthias, what's your opinion on this topic?

Indeed. That's why I suggested it. And it would be sad to see all
my efforts with dh_python go away as the sole purpose of the new
dh_python was to assure that consistency.
The code would be a little simplified as there's no need to support the
"old policy" in that library.
