Hi Alexander,

This is fixed in the experimental package by loading libpython2.5.so.1. As the
changelog entry says, that's an ugly workaround, but it's probably better than
depending on python-dev and bringing a lot of dependencies.

I've backported this patch to the unstable branch.

Cheers,
Emilio
