Comment 7 for bug 88512

currently this is addressed in 2.5-5ubuntu8 by ignoring errors when byte-compiling packages when a new runtime is installed (rtinstall), there's no ideal solution:

 - moving rtinstall into the python2.5 package leaves packages
   unavailable when just python2.5-minimal is installed. site.py (config
   file) is not available, if python2.5-minimal is not yet configured.

- ignore the errors and re-run rtinstall in apt's Dpkg::Post-Invoke
  hook.

- move the codecs and encodings from the python2.5 package into
  python2.5-minimal. Increases the compressed size of -minimal
  by 580kB, omitting the multibyte codecs increases the size by 200k.
