Package: python2.6
Severity: serious

All python*-dev packages ship windows installer commands in their
distutils module, which are not being rebuilt at build time, at least I
was not able to find any trace in the logs.

Even worse on the first look there doesn't seem to be a way to compile
these files under linux at all.

This is a violation of the Debian policy 2.2.1 and it was obviously
ignored by the maintainer as he acknoledges the existance of those files
in the changelog of python2.6 (2.6.2-1) and by adding a patch to point
users to the -dev package.
