Thanks Siegfried for the clarification, I think I now understand what this bug is all about.
But let me ask you one final question: how much is this related to autotools vs. packaging.

Is this bug about making a package which installs the zeitgeist module for all available py version?
Or should   ./configure; make; make install   do the same? If someone wants to use the release tarball, can't we assume he knows about sth. like      $PYTHON=`which python2.5` ./configure; make; make install   ?

I propose this solution:
  * for the tarball we stay with the current solution, if some user wants to install the zeitgeist module for some other version, he should define the PYTHON envvar as desired
  * in the package we modify debian/rules in a way that the zeitgeist module is installed for all available and supported python versions. As far as I understand the packaging stuff `gnome-menus` is a good example of how rules [0] should look like in this case.

We need to fix our autotools to install the Python module for all available Python versions, not only the default one.
