It isn't the right place. This is the list for development of Python 
itself, not for the Debian package.

I'd suggest you contact either the Debian-Python mailing list 
(http://lists.debian.org/debian-python/), or the maintainer itself. 
Personally I didn't have this problem on Woody, btw.

Or just report it to the Debian bugtracking system using for example 
'reportbug'.
