I think it should work just fine on python2.5. The only problem is probably the "--install-layout=deb" flag that got added for the ubuntu python2.6 changes. If that is removed, it should work fine with 2.5, I'm not aware of any 2.6 features that it uses. > But there are a version of gdebi that works pretty well in Debian > testing/unstable now, it is 0.4.0 version.

I'm happy that you want to work on this. Ideally the versions in debian and ubuntu should be the same and ubuntu would just sync from debian. Currently this is not the case because of the --install-layout=yes difference in debian/rules.
