Bug Description

Binary package hint: python-kde3

According to the changelog (3.16.0-0ubuntu6), python-kde3 has been rebuilt for python2.5, yet python-kde3 contains only 2.4 modules.
AFAICS the problem is in debian/rules:
PYTHONS := $(filter-out 2.5, $(shell pyversions -vr debian/control))

So, python2.5. is explicitely filtered out.

According to the changelog, this has been done because python-kde3 would not build with python2.5, which is not true anymore. python-kde3 can be built without problems with python2.5. So the above can simply replaced by

PYTHONS := $(shell pyversions -vr debian/control)

Michael, yes, this one is simple, so I have prepared debdiff for one of core-dev's to pick it up.

you didn't test the patch; it will fail to build. the current version in feisty has all the fixes needed.

Matthias, the proposed debdiff did build for me here and I have it installed, so I do not know what you see wrong with it. But you probably know better what else needs to be done to get this properly to python 2.5.
