I wanted a 2.6 variant for completely different reasons than #476213.
Waiting for packages being built in unstable solves #476213 but not my
problem, so I still feel this was valid. I need this for a genuine
python2.6 project.

Obviously I wanted files for both versions, including OOo parts, maybe
installed to python2.6 lib dirs directly. I agree this is not easy and
time consuming as it would involve building relevant OOo components
against both python versions. Maybe I should have asked the python guys
instead, but after looking at debian/rules again I doubt anyone else
wants to understand and reproduce even parts of it.

I was hoping the build system would support this if you only knew the
magic. I'll have to do with local hacks instead.

Any way thanks for the fast answer,
Jürgen
