Well this is what I was doing... ;-)
To find the broken packages I'm trying the following:
 - look for libpython from the output of readelf for binaries,
 - look in the install log for the pattern
$TRACK_ROOT/usr/lib/python-${OLD_VERSION:0:3}/site-packages

I'm not sure it is useful to check the librairies, I didn't find any
library linked on libpython on my laptop... What's your feeling ?
