Note that there does not seem to be a newer upstream pychecker release that fixes this. Because Python 2.7 support seems spread out among several CVS commits, I tried doing a merge package from the latest CVS tree, but there were conflicts. I think we should wait until a new upstream is released, and/or a new version hits Debian. The resolution of disabling pychecker when used with 2.7 (see git-buildpackage 0.5.13ubuntu1) seems right to me for now.
