This is caused because the package relies upon using the Python "with"
keyword. For Python 2.6 "with" is available by default but for Python
2.5 any script that uses "with" needs to do a future import as the first
line of the script:
from __future__ import with_statement
Compiling the package manually shows the same error:
--- Python 2.5 ---
cd /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/Onboard/
sudo rm *.pyc
sudo python2.5

The attached patch adds the required line to KeyboardSVG.py. It is
tested with python2.5 and python2.6 on Karmic and works for both:
--- Python 2.5 ---
cd /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/Onboard/
sudo rm *.pyc
sudo python2.5
