Hello, as you probably know, python2.6 has recently been added to supported Python version in unstable [1]. I started to work to a list of packages to be binNMUed in order to compile their extensions for 2.6, based on these criteria: 1) I looked for packages shipping .so files with site-packages or pyshared matches in their full path 2) I excluded arch:all false-positives packages 3) I excluded packages not depending on python-all-dev 4) I excluded packages with a XS-Python-Version field excluding 2.6 as a supported version for their extensions. 4) I excluded packages with a debian/pyversions excluding 2.6 as a supported version for their extensions. First output of my elaboration can be found at [2], listing 294 source packages. Feel free to suggest packages to be added or removed. I also prepared a list for Release Team [3], they want to wait for python2.6 to migrate in testing before schedule binNMUs though, so we have another week to work on the list and prepare for the next steps.
