Yes, this is true, this does not happen in the respective packages,
see my initial comment for #682634[1], but I was not fully clear there
:). In the commit referenced there, it was introduced the test for
sys.version_info.major < 3.

What I do not yet understand, is why it still uses python2.6 for both
packages: at least nautilus-image-manipulator depends on python, which
now defaults to 2.7, so some other dependencies brings in python2.6?

[I did a rebuild of all packages which build-depends on
python-distutils-extra, and these two seem the only two FTBFS with the
above.]

But again, I only did a first look so my initial disclaimer still
holds :)

Thanks for looking too at it Gregor.

Regards,
Salvatore
