Bug#725997: alacarte: config fails with error: alacarte depends on python:any (>= 2.6.6-7~)

[JS]

The problem was fixed by manually upgrading the package   python:any;  then installing both
alacarte  3.9.91-1 and the latest alacarte 3.10.0-1 worked properly, where before both had
given this error.

This was confusing because the installed python2.6 is above this version already:
ii  python2.6                    2.6.8-1.1        i386
ii  python2.6-dev                2.6.8-1.1        i386
ii  python2.6-doc                2.6.8-1.1        all 
ii  python2.6-examples          2.6.8-1.1        all 
ii  python2.6-minimal            2.6.8-1.1        i386

Perhaps adding a dependency on python:any version 2.7.5-5 or greater would avoid
this installation problem?
