As long as the packages have different names and provides (i.e. python26
and python), this is possible. Of course, only one of those packages can
provide the 'python' binary (the other one would have to resort to
'python-2.6' or similar).
But in general I'd prefer it if we could restrain ourselves to stick to a
single version of python 2. If we decide to support two different versions
of python, it should be 2.x and 3.x.

Oliver
