Hello,

Starting from Python 2.6, the installation paths for distutils have
changed. /usr/local is now used by default.

When rebuilt against python-all{,-dev,-dbg} (and thus python2.6) from
Debian experimental (and with python2.6 as the default one), your
package failed to build from source. Here's relevant part of the build
log:

[...]
python pootlesetup.py build
[...]
running install_scripts
creating /tmp/buildd/pootle-1.2.1/debian/pootle/usr/local/bin
copying build/scripts-2.6/PootleServer -> 
/tmp/buildd/pootle-1.2.1/debian/pootle/usr/local/bin
[...]
# Pootle is a WEB server, I prefer to install it in sbin
mv /tmp/buildd/pootle-1.2.1/debian/pootle/usr/bin/PootleServer 
/tmp/buildd/pootle-1.2.1/debian/pootle/usr/sbin
mv: cannot stat `/tmp/buildd/pootle-1.2.1/debian/pootle/usr/bin/PootleServer': 
No such file or directory
make: *** [install] Error 1

How to fix it?
==============
* try to pass "--prefix=/usr" to setup.py call, check if it's enough,
* if your package is using python-central:
  - add "XB-Python-Version: ${python:Versions}" to all binary packages
    that ship Python modules (.py files) or extensions (.so, including
    _d.so) in debian/control, check if it's enough,
  - try to convert to python-support[1], check if it's enough,
* add --install-layout=deb to setup.py call and bump minimum required
  python{,-all,all-dev} build dependency to 2.5.4-1~, check if it's enough
* ask for help on #debian-python or debian-pyt...@lists.debian.org
