It doesn't look like this is going to be fixed for etch.  See 
<http://lists.debian.org/debian-release/2006/10/msg00073.html> and the 
surrounding thread for some additional explanations.  We will have to 
initiate a discussion with the debhelper maintainer about it, although 
now that dh_py* is no longer part of debhelper, this won't get any 
easier.
