Bug Description

Binary package hint: libgv-python

debdiff with the changes. I had to drop the build of several python support (2.4 and 2.5), to let only a generic one with default python version (python2.6), as the configure file is not ready for python2.6.

Thanks! Can you please forward this to Debian, too? They'll soon get Python 2.6 as well.

I think you mean s/$(PYTHON_VERSIONS)/2.5/ here, since PYTHON_VERSIONS == 2.6 with your patch.
