I would like to express my appreciation to the scrapy team and the Ubuntu packagers -- and to report that the Ubuntu package scrapy-0.24 installs flawlessly on a fresh Debian Wheezy installation, provided python2.6 is uninstalled first.
I suggest the python dependency in the Ubuntu package be updated from "Depends: python (>= 2.5)" to 2.7, and it will work by default on Debian stable too.
