The reporters of such bugs should probably be told not to be so fixated on
version numbers... in any case, unblocked.

That would explain #592988; I assume that just needs a round of binNMUs.

How would they have known? The dependencies of libapache2-mod-python only
specify "libpython2.6 (>= 2.6), python (<< 2.7), python (>= 2.6)" which
provides no hint at all that they need a more specific version (and smells
rather like an RC bug in that package).
