$PYTHON_DEPEND is supposed to contain lists of alternatives of packages that ensure /usr/bin/python will exist. However, the list contains e.g. python2.6, which doesn't (transitively) depend on python-minimal.Just double checking here; so there are only supposed to be the following four packages listed in $PYTHON_DEPEND?'python | python-dev | python-all | python-all-dev'
I've just read log of bug #460625, which was the reason pythonX.Y was added to $PYTHON_DEPEND in the first place. The issue is more complicated that I thought, I need to think a bit about it; tagging the bug accordingly.
