I've attempted to see if I could understand how this could happen, and I can't.
python-minimal ships the /usr/bin/python symlink. Once python2.x is unpacked (I checked this) then /usr/bin/python2.x is available. Since the version of python-minimal shown in the bug being unpacked depends on python2.6-minimal it should (not shown in the log) have been unpacked already and so /usr/bin/python2.6 should have been available. I've run through this several different ways for Squeeze and Wheezy and don't see a failure mechanism based on an issue in this package. I'd reassing it, but I'm not sure where. If python2.6-minimal wasn't unpacked yet, that would explain it, but given the depends relationship, I don't think that should happen.
