I think the last maintainer upload undid these, causing more
problems:

Are there any hopes of getting a date for this? November is going to
end soon, and that leaves only 4 months to the freeze. I really don't
see the need to find a more auspicous time[1] for uploading Python 2.6
to unstable, but could we have your reasoning/schedule on when the
uupload is going to happen, please?

Thanks.
