Bug#587008: python-gtk2: python2.5 dep should be a conflicts

Package: python-gtk2
Version: 2.16.0-2
Severity: minor

python-gtk2 has a dependency on python2.5 >= 2.5.2-5 (presumably in
order to get around some bug in lower versions). With the python 2.6
transition, this results in it being impossible to remove python 2.5 and
have a python2.6-only system, as the dependency pulls in python2.5. If
this dependency was a Conflicts on lower versions of python2.5 instead, 
it would stop lower versions of python2.5 being installed but also not
require python2.5 to be installed if not needed.
