Title:
  updating to python2.6.7 in lucid and updating

Status in “python2.6” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: python2.6

  (started discussion about this kind of update with Barry and Martin)

  the python2.6 branch has a lot of bug fixes not present in the lucid
  python2.6 packages; it would be worth updating the python2.6 package
  to the 2.6.6 (or the 2.6.7) release. what would need to happen?

   - review changes in the python2.6 branch, these should only be bug fixes (barry - done)
   - backport the py_compileall / pycompile changes, needed for dh_python2 backport (doko)
   - review locally applied bug fixes during the maverick and natty release cycle (doko)

  the backport of dh_python2 is tracked in bug #788524
