I've got stuck again. I need more information.

Should it loop over dist.suppl_suites?
What should it do with those? Could you provide an example in pseudocode?

Could you show me the output of _do2? I've read some docs on
subprocess, but it's unclear to me.

What is the purpose of ($Source (==iceweasel), $Version (%
*gnewsense*)) (_purge_purge_lists function)? This syntax looks
strange. I suppose it has something to do with the execution of
reprepro, but I'm not sure.

Could you comment on these TODOs?
What is the "pocket name"?
What does "description" mean?
Should I replace every _do call with _do2 or it will be enough to
replace os.system with subprocess in _do?
