I believe csound supports Python2.6 just fine.

What the (Debian) packaging does not support currently is multiple 
versions of Python - so when Debian switches to use Python2.6 by default 
csound needs a binNMU (like a whole bunch of other packages, I guess).

I agree that the Ubuntu patch seems broken.

Suggestions to build (not just copy!) for multiple Python versions is 
much appreciated.  An elegant approach can hopefully benefit also other 
CDBS packages using the SCONS build system.
