This is going to suck for debhelper backporters who need to build pyhon stuff. Since --install-layout=deb is only needed to support python 2.6, it is not needed in a debhelper backport to stable. So backporters could remove that and the conflict -- but maybe it would be better to somehow detect if python 2.6 is being targeted and only pass the option then? Perhaps pversions could be used to list them. CCing Bernd in case he wants to tackle that. -- see shy jo
