addition of a __init__.py file to /var/lib/python-support/python2.5/twisted

Binary package hint: python-support

I'm not sure if this is a bug in python-support, but somehow on my Hardy system there is a file named /var/lib/python-support/python2.5/twisted/__init__.py which prevents twisted from being importable. Using sudo to rm that file works-around the problem:
