Same thing here, but with 2.3.5-15ubuntu1... :-(
I added "set -x" in the beginning of "/var/lib/dpkg/info/python2.3.postinst"
and then tried to install it again. The output is the following:
[snipped correct behavior]
+ grep -sq ^byte-compile[^#]*optimize /etc/python/debian_config
+ [ -z ]
+ [ != noninteractive ]
+ echo Linking and byte-compiling packages for runtime python2.3...

+ dpkg -s python2.3
+ awk /^Version:/ {print $2}
+ version=2.3.5-15ubuntu1
+ [ -x /usr/share/python/runtime.d/pycentral.rtinstall ]
+ /usr/share/python/runtime.d/pycentral.rtinstall rtinstall python2.3
