Bug#435430: python-gnome2-desktop missing certain modules in python 2.5

Package: python-gnome2-desktop
Version: 2.18.0-2

When both python 2.4 and python 2.5 are installed on Lenny, some
modules from python-gnome2-desktop are not present in python 2.5.
These modules are fairly critical for many gnome apps and OLPC's Sugar
environment.

To reproduce
$ python
Python 2.5.1 (r251:54863, Jul 27 2007, 20:18:23)
[GCC 4.1.3 20070718 (prerelease) (Debian 4.1.2-14)] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import rsvg
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: No module named rsvg
>>> import wnck
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: No module named wnck
>>>

A cursory glance finds that these modules are not being generated for
python2.5 even when they are generated for python2.4.
