This is expected. The per-python version are virtual packages which have
to be provided by the packages you depend upon. This doesn't mean, in
your example, that python2.4 and python2.5 will be brought, only that
python-wxgtk2.6 and so on have to provide the python2.5 interfaces.
If you don't do that, the Provides: field is meaningless. This was
discussed at large in Oaxtepec. Note that you don't need to use
Python-Depends if you don't have a "Provides: ${python:Provides}", but
it is recommended.

These dependencies would be semantically wrong.
