Debian is currently transitioning to python2.6 for their next release 
(squeeze), so you might try installing the current python2.6 package from 
testing:
http://packages.debian.org/squeeze/python2.6
(it includes libbz2-1.0 as a dependency, so should provide zlib support)

There has been a lot of discussion of updating Debian's python packages for 
2.6 on the debian-python mailing list:

comparing it with a equivalent directory from a Python 2.5 interpreter that 
comes with the system, I found that a number of modules are also missing.
