As you propably already know, python2.6 is the default python interpreter
in Ubuntu, and we've applied the following patch to fix the FTBFS.
This changes can already been apply with python2.5.

*** /tmp/tmpxk7__y
In Ubuntu, we've applied the attached patch to achieve the following:

 * Build for python 2.6 (LP: #380866):
   - debian/skytools.install: substitute references to site-package with
     *-package and reference to python2.5 with python*
   - debian/rules: add include of simple-patchsys.mk
   - debian/patches/01_python2.6.diff: patch Makefile file to add
     --install-layout=deb parameter when calling python.py install

There are more bad things with this package:
- pgq.status fails to bytecompile with Python 2.6.


Here are relevant parts of my build log:

[...]

- The package doesn't use any helper, neither python-support (which is preferred) nor python-central. Most likely, the 01_python2.6.diff would be superfluous if it did.
