Not sure if you got this bit figured, but apparently you must run
that command from with a work area:
nathans@verge:/source/git/pcp$ pyversions -vr
2.7 2.6
nathans@verge:/source/git/pcp$ cd src/
nathans@verge:/source/git/pcp/src$ pyversions -vr
pyversions: error parsing Python-Version attribute
nathans@verge:/source/git/pcp/src$ cd ..
nathans@verge:/source/git/pcp$ grep Python-Version debian/control
X-Python-Version: >= 2.6
So, with my change from yesterday I was expecting you'd get an
unsatisfied build dependency (thanks to the "python-all" req),
and once you install "python2.6" alongside your "python2.7" it
would magically start to work.

In the interim, to catch dev branch build fallout early on (before a
release), could a git-based (update/clone + build + raw make install)
kind of model be utilised? (horrible, I know)
cheers.
