Bug Description

Hi,

The python-minimal postinst script contains this line:

python -m compileall /usr/share/python/ >/dev/null

My unlucky officemate had python 2.4 installed as /usr/local/bin/python, and as /usr/local/bin precedes /usr/bin in roots $PATH (this surprised me, fwiw), python2.4 is used to try to compile the various things using 2.5 and 2.6 syntax in /usr/share/python with confusing results.
