Was a work-around for a problem with Python 2.5's distutils, I think. Looks like it's not needed with Python 2.6.
The attached patch should fix it (while still supporting 2.5 if necessary). The resulting binary package's contents are the same, according to debdiff.
Note that all previous versions have had this line, so presumably the version currently in Jaunty doesn't build either now.
