/usr/share/python/pyversions.py is included in python-minimal.

Ubuntu package:
- make symbolic link /usr/bin/pyversions to pyversions.py in package of "python" (see debian/rules).
- remove /usr/share/python/*.py[co] at prerm of "python-minimal".
- remove /usr/share/python/pyversions.py[co] at prerm only with "remove" state of "python".
- debootstrap install "python-minimal" in base.tgz, therefore python-minimal.prerm is *not* executed in piuparts.

is remove /usr/share/python/pyversions.py[co] with purge option same as "apt-get remove".

I've submitted this change to Debian, but it is going to be reverted because according to Section 6.5 of the Debian Policy (http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-maintainerscripts.html), prerm is called only as:

- prerm remove
- prerm upgrade […]
- prerm remove in-favour […]
- prerm deconfigure in-favour […]

It never gets called as `prerm purge`. I believe this is the case in Ubuntu as well, so I see no reason to keep this change in our delta.
