The patch has a few issues, e.g. it hardcodes the python version in
debian/python-avogadro.install (the change here is useless - please
leave it as it is), which might lead to an FTBFS in the future. Another
thing that comes to my mind is: Why is X-Python-Version >= 2.5 when we
only build for the current version (2.6 or newer)? This should be set in
an automated way and not hardcoded. I further see some differences to
`man dh_python2', but I didn't figure them out yet - e.g. including
python-distutils.mk.

JFTR: We should finally change to dh 7 for avogadro.
