IIRC this was discussed extensively in Barcelona last year and the
agreement was to include python2.5 in Lucid as well.
Wasn't doko supposed to prepare a PPA that would facilitate the
installation of python2.5 on Lucid systems?

The main consideration for having at least one python interpreter
version shared by Hardy and Lucid was to provide LTS customers with a
migration path for their python "applications".

So, this is not just about Launchpad (although we do have a vested
interest :)

If we shipped only python2.6 with Lucid: what would be the "official"
Hardy->Lucid migration story for LTS customers?

Best regards
