I have same trouble...
I tried editing #!/usr/bin/python -> #!/usr/bin/python2.4 in /usr/bin/yum and
yum-arch executables but it doesn't work because launching yum I get this:
~$ yum
rpm: To install rpm packages on Debian systems, use alien. See README.Debian.
error: cannot open Packages index using db3 - No such file or directory (2)
error: cannot open Packages database in /var/lib/rpm
Traceback (most recent call last):

self.doConfigSetup(fn=opts.conffile, root=root)
File "/var/lib/python-support/python2.4/yum/__init__.py", line 82, in
doConfigSetup
self.conf = config.yumconf(configfile=fn, root=root)
File "/var/lib/python-support/python2.4/yum/config.py", line 271, in __init__
self.yumvar['releasever'] = self._getsysver()
File "/var/lib/python-support/python2.4/yum/config.py", line 383, in
_getsysver
idx = ts.dbMatch('provides', self.getConfigOption('distroverpkg'))
TypeError: rpmdb open failed
what is this now?

yum seems to depend on python2.4, but agrees with python2.5
