Indeed, the problem is the Python maintainer, regardless of who he works for. The fact that it is in a better shape in a distribution which is close to Debian shows, however, that a better situation is possible. In the current situation[1] it would only require an upload of python2.6 and one of python-defaults (provided that the last python-central NMU is not, again, replaced by a broken MU). But when the maintainer specifically happens to work for a company that claims to contribute back to Debian, on the same things he works for in Debian, you can’t blame people for pointing out these claims are outright lies. You want to use Debian’s code? Fine, it’s free software. You don’t want your employees to contribute? Fine too, no one is forced to work on Debian. But if you brag about your lies, prepare to get bitten. [1] http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?users=debian-pyt...@lists.debian.org;tag=python2.6 -- .''`.
