Why is that a problem?  You can have python2.[123] install at the same time
without any problem.

Yes.  A better solution was posted several times on this list and is
implemented in the inofficial Debian packages automagically.  Please
do not propagate solutions which are worse.  If Karsten would not have
continous trouble with his mail I think I would have working packages
from current CVS.

Karsten: You can find at

   http://people.debian.org/~tille/tmp/karsten-trouble

a mailbox with the message which failed to reach you at least twice.
I have trouble when bootstrapping the server ...

PLEASE: This is not the right way to restart a service on Debian systems!!!!
Please repeat:
  On Debian GNU/Linux systems I can restart *any* service like that:

     # su - root
     # /etc/init.d/<service foo> restart

I don't know exactly but if I have sorted out the problem I try to foreward
to Karsten you can expect GnuMed-Snapshot packages in Debian experimental
in the not so distant future.

Kind regards
