ftbfs for Natty with Python 2.6 and 2.7. It appears as though it's still referencing Python 2.6 when it tries to build the package for Python 2.7. Cause is currently unknown.

I think the problem is that when it wants to build in debian/build/main/python, it only builds for Python 2.6 and this somehow leaves artifacts around that break the Python 2.7 build.

Try the following diff. It specifies the version of python when running make, which is relevant when make decides to rerun ./configure (which it now does on install for some reason). Since PYTHON was only specified during the debuild configure step, it reverted to the default version during install. Always specifying it prevents that bug.
