I can confirm this bug on Jaunty. This error shows up for a couple of days now. All other package upgrages are working normally, only fonttools fails to install/upgrade with:

This is most probably the reason of the problem:

"Warning: 'as' will become a reserved keyword in Python 2.6"

changing lines 397-398
 as = p.getAssembly()
 p.fromAssembly(as)
to
 assembly = p.getAssembly()
 p.fromAssembly(assembly)
(or anything else but "as")

removes the error

This is fixed in the upstream SVN:

http://fonttools.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/fonttools/trunk/Lib/fontTools/ttLib/tables/ttProgram.py?r1=563&r2=562&pathrev=563

I'll be making a new upstream release soonish and will package it for Debian soon after that.

This bug was fixed in the package fonttools - 2.2-2ubuntu2

---------------
fonttools (2.2-2ubuntu2) jaunty; urgency=low

  * Lib/fontTools/ttLib/tables/ttProgram.py: Apply patch from upstream SVN
    r563 to rename a variable "as". "as" is a reserved keywoard and breaks
    compilation with Python 2.6. Thanks to Paul Wise for pointing this out.
