you could keep a serious bug open until python2.7 migrates, to solve the
issue you're mentioning. That wouldn't help with partial upgrades
though (upgrading vim without libpython2.7), so not really a solution.

I think that's a way to go.

(Another might be to get python2.7 to bump its shlibs and to get packages
rebuilt against it. But really, I don't know anything about the pythonish
specifics…)

Mraw,
