This new version depends on all three versions of Python (2.5, 
2.6, and 2.7).

gathered info is not correct):

Depends on libpython-2.x means python-2.x, hence 2.6 and 2.7 in 
addition to directly listed python-2.5.  And that's *depends*, 
not recommends or a play of versions and disjunctions.

Ok, all three versions may be installed in parallel.  But it's 
only a *may*.  I would rather have only one forced upon me, 
please.
