Actual build fixes may be acceptable, if they're needed to allow
people to build from a version control checkout or from source (since
they need to be able to do that in order to apply security patches).

However, the combination of "running on Ubuntu 11.04+" and "need to
build security patched version of old Python" seems unlikely.

Cheers,
Nick.
