I can't see where you're building the files for all Python versions...

Thats right, the location for those files changed from 2.5 to 2.6.

Python 2.6 does nto search in the 2.5 directory obviously - but you're using a
private module directory anyway (/usr/share/hplip) - so I can't see the issue
why it can't find the modules.
Also I'm wondering if you need to rebuild everything for each python version as
- on the first look - I didn't see any extension in the packages.

Both ways are wrong. python-support handles that for you (in case you're using
non-private module directories).
