The reason for this problem is probably that I tricked the build computer to
use python2.5 for some reason (probably to make the packages behave better
on Ubuntu). I have to look more carefully into this, maybe we have to make
separate packages for debian and ubuntu.

For now, I will se if I can generate packages of syfi that have python2.5 as
explicit dep.
