As an aside, I wonder if it would make sense to create an Ubuntu/Debian package that essentially just depended on all those -dev packages. That way you could install this python-uber-dev package and get everything you needed to build a sumo Python.

I don’t know. Any Debian advanced user wanting to build a package can just run “aptitude build-dep python2.6”. Aptitude has the nice property of asking for a confirmation, so it’s even possible to cherry-pick from the lists of deps (press “e” at the confirmation prompt). E.g., I choose readline but not tk. So it seems to me that the information and the command are already here.
