Thanks.
Question: why the severity is only important?
Shouldn't we aim at uploading python 2.6 to unstable really soon now? In
that respect, if I understand the problems you mentioned in the first
post correctly, those bugs should be better made RC.
Cheers.

AIUI, the former would be contrary to upstream's wishes regarding the organization of distro-provided modules. If this is the case, python-central needs to be NMUed to handle such packages. There is no bug filed against python-central for this.

* 246 packages don’t, but should work as well provided that we
ensure python-central is fixed.
I forgot to explain how exactly it needs to be fixed.
* python-central needs a NMU to
handle /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages as a source directory.
It needs to support /usr/local/lib/python2.6/{dist,site}-packages as
well. Otherwise, 83 more packages will have to be changed.

Practically speaking, this is the only thing that prevents python2.6 from entering unstable. This is a first attempt at listing packages needing to be fixed. Thank you for this work, and for communicating the results in these forums.
