2.6 is the default in oldstable (Squeeze), so every Debian system that hasn't upgraded from there is likely to be counted as a 2.6 and not a 2.7. (And Python 2 is a dependency of all sorts of things, so it's likely to get installed.) Wheezy ships 2.6.8, and I seem to have both that and 2.7.3 installed, so it's possible that even though 2.7 is the default, a lot of 2.6 installations are happening. Debian Testing (Jessie) ships both 3.3 and 3.4, with the 'python3' package pulling in 3.3. That may change before Jessie becomes stable, I don't know.
