Setting the build depends on python-all to 2.6.6-3~ makes backports very
difficult, and means that we'd have to fork the packaging to handle
anything that isn't either wheezy, natty or oneiric. Don't even get me
started on how terrible the transition to dh_python2 has been
orchestrated - but suffice it to say, for us continuing to sanely
support squeeze and lucid is important, so breaking the packaging for
them is a non-starter.

However, you'll notice that in the debian/rules file we check for the
existence of dh_python2, and if it is there, we use it, otherwise we
don't - so we do not actually have a build depend on that version of python.

I'm not seeing you as the maintainer in the packaging? Where are you
looking?
