You have been subscribed to a public bug by Bas Couwenberg (sebastic):

QGIS relies on the GDAL python scripts to use the .py extension, and
cannot easily support both with and without the extension in the current
codebase.

The change to strip the .py extension was first included in gdal
1.10.1+dfsg-1,  shortly after this issue was reported in the QGIS issue
tracker and brought to the attention of the Debian GIS team the change
was reverted and included in gdal 1.10.1+dfsg-5 currently since
yesterday available in Debian unstable.

QGIS issue: http://hub.qgis.org/issues/9924

There are no material changes in ubuntu, this should be safe to sync
