Colin, thank you for your report about the hard-coded python 2.6 paths in gbirthday's build system. I previously ran into build issues due to it myself. I will talk to upstream and try to resolve it there.
As far as dh_python2 is concerned, I've been patiently waiting for LP ticket 788524 to be fixed so that I can continue to share the source for my packages between Debian unstable and self-compiled binaries for my lucid desktop. Moving to dh_python2 now means I can no longer build and test my own packages for my main computer. In a nutshell, the issues you raised will be dealt with, but not necessarily in the way you propose. The time-frame is also mostly depending on Ubuntu devs backporting dh_python2 to lucid.
