At least one of the binary packages built by these source packages
ends up with a dependency, recommendation or suggestion on python2.5
without having an explicit build dependency on python2.5 or python2.5-dev.

Please fix this without reintroducing explicit build depedencies on
python2.5 or python2.5-dev, if possible.

kdebindings depends on python-all-dev and hence python-kde4 pulls in python2.5
via dpkg-shlibdeps. That's because python-kde4 contains bindings for both
python2.5 and python2.6 at the moment. However, everything should be
binNMUable so when python2.5 is gone, our Suggests should be gone after binNMU
too. I don't see a problem here, it's only suggests anyway.

yes, it's the only package suggesting 2.5. is this really needed? no other python module adds a suggests for this. why kdebindings? If an extension pulls in the dependency on python.2.5, then this is a bug which should be resolved.
