This occurs because the vtk module is not being built for python2.6.
Yes, doesn't look like VTK is about to change that, and this also results in an FTBFS in Debian.
I suggest not using ">= 2.6", just 2.6. It only supports one version at a time. Yes, it's ugly.
Any reason why you are bumping the numpy BD?
Please use a more descriptive changelog entry. Or even better, let's get this fixed in Debian (which probably means XS-Python-Version: current) and sync to Ubuntu.
