For python-support, the README states:

*** You don't need X[BS]-Python-Version fields. You don't need ***
*** debian/pycompat. You don't need to call dh_python after    ***
*** dh_pysupport. Just remove all of these.                    ***

There  is  no  README  for  python-central,  so  I  don't  know  if  its
requirements  have been  updated in  this  area. The  new Debian  Python
policy  should  be   updated  in  this  regard  because   it  is  a  bit
confusing. Since I am confused  myself, I'll wait for more authoritative
answer. :)
