Adding python2.7 task. Above python-defaults change is just a bandaid, as it won't help upgraders to natty who don't install maverick-updates first. A first attempt at this has been made in

python2.7 (2.7.1-1ubuntu2) natty; urgency=low

  * python2.7-minimal: Add break on python-minimal (<< 2.7.1~).

but that now causes both packags to be held back on upgrades. Investigation about this is ongoing.

What we really need to do is to prevent configuring python2.7{,.-minimal} while we still have python-minimal (<< 2.7) installed.
