Shouldn't there be separate values for packages for Debian GNU/Linux
and Debian GNU/Hurd?

What's the difference between "mac" and "macos"?

Other operating systems referred to in the README with Python 2.1b2
are:

    BSDI, DEC Unix, DEC Ultrix, Minix, SCO, SunOS 4, NeXTSTEP, Irix,
    OS/2, Monterey, Reliant UNIX, Mac OS X.

Other OS's for which Python is available, that I know of, are Palm,
WinCE and OS/400.

Other common architectures are arm, ia64, m68k, mips, mipsel, s390 (or
whatever IBM are calling it now) and as400 (or whatever IBM are
calling _it_ now), although the AS/400 is arguably using the PowerPC
architecture.  Python should be available for all of these.
