I thought that was a soft failure. You get an error, and you can't
really use that library with 2.7, but everything else is ok.

More to the point, C extensions specifically Depend on python << 2.7 if
they were built for 2.6 and not 2.7. dh_python2, with its in-package
symlink farm, has the same issue. These would all have to be rebuilt.
