Packages don't get updated in promotion process if earlier version satisfies dependency. Many packages have direct dependency only for "python" package, which hasn't been updated lately, not for "python2.5" which is the actual optified version. "python2.5" isn't probably promoted because no package hasn't had dependency "python2.5 (>=2.5.2-3maemo3). If packagers like to keep their "Depends" line clean they are unlikely to put python2.5 directly there.
