 Hmm I think you're considering different things here; the reason
 there's an explicit python2.5 (>= 2.5.2-5) dep is for wakeupfd support.

 There's no way to express a build-dep or dep on "all python versions
 with wakeupfd support" so we had to pick a real actual version of
 python providing this support to make sure it's always available.
