nvm, found it: python2.6 needs libexpat1-dev to build, but doesn’t
depend on it; on the buildds, it was pulled in very indirectly, via
tk8.5-dev→libxft-dev→libfontconfig1-dev→libexpat1-dev, this chain
is missing on m68k due to antique tk8.5-dev…

Cc: doko so you can fix this in the python2.6 source package with
your next upload (no need for one, I’ll just populate the chroot
for now)
