Peter:

This is the killer.  I found the Debian python policy
(http://lists.debian.org/debian-python/2001/debian-python-200109/msg00069.html).
Basically, it says that if a python module is needed for an older version
of python, an pythonmodul-pyXY should be created that installs in
/sw/lib/pythonXY/site-packages. In other words, I think your original
suggestion is the right one.  So, I'll create numeric-py22 and pil-py22
packages ASAP and put them in experimental/jswhit.
