The actual bug is in python-clientform (which is now built by
src:python-mechanize), not in calibre.
python-mechanize in squeeze depends on python-clientform, which in
squeeze is an own package. In python-mechanize 0.2.0, clientform was
merged into it and Debian provides a dummy transitional package
depending on python-mechanize.
Now, when the dummy python-clientform gets upgraded and the old
python-mechanize is still installed, dependencies are fine, but one
cannot import mechanize (and calibre thus crashes).
The proper solution would be:
diff -Nru python-mechanize-0.2.5/debian/control
python-mechanize-0.2.5/debian/control
--- python-mechanize-0.2.5/debian/control 2012-08-12
17:10:49.000000000 +0200
+++ python-mechanize-0.2.5/debian/control 2012-03-13

Package: python-clientform

+Depends: ${misc:Depends}, python-mechanize
Section: oldlibs
Description: transitional dummy package
This package is a dummy transitional package following the merge of ClientForm
This would stop python-clientform being upgraded w/o a proper
python-mechanize version installed.
