I've marked bug #242554 as 'fix released', as the dependency of aptoncd should now be satisfiable within hardy-updates as soon as the package has been published and the mirrors catch up. This highlights the need for a check as part of our SRU process to verify that packages which are being copied into -updates won't cause uninstallability problems. python-central is not a unique case in warranting such a check; whenever an ABI-changing kernel SRU is done, it's important to be sure that all the packages are copied as a group to avoid regressions in installability such as this, and currently this check is done entirely by hand. An appropriate follow-up to prevent this problem from recurring would be to implement such a check.
