Ah, yes. Lintian would correctly diagnose that bug in python-support,
since python2.7 (or python3.0) won't provide the /usr/bin/python2.6
binary.

I'm not getting this tag for that *.deb file with Lintian 2.3.4, and the
Depends don't have the alternative that you describe:
Depends: python2.6, python-support (>= 0.90.0), debsums, python-apt,
python-lxml (>= 0.9), ucf, lsb-base (>= 3.1-9),
python-m2crypto | python (>= 2.6)
The python2.6 dependency is unconditional, and indeed Lintian doesn't
warn.
