I didn't know it is all that complicated and interdependant (and if
something is like that, it maybe should be questioned whether it needs
to be like that - but I leave that to the debian developers).
Meanwhile it sounds like only requiring >= 2.6 for the next release and
just delaying python2.7-based preparation work for python3 compatibility
to a later release is the easier way to go. :|
Hopefully it will be a non-issue then when that stuff is going to be
released. For development it is not a big issue for me as I am using
ubuntu, which has a more fresh python anyway (and I also have
some /usr/local/ manually installed pythons for testing) - I was
primarily concerned about easy release deployment (where many people are
using debian, including me).
