Oh, huh, there's a misprint in our package:
geofft@leveret:/tmp$ apt-cache show python-hesiod
Package: python-hesiod
Source: python-hesiod (0.2.10-1debathena2~debian6.0~0.2)
Version: 0.2.10-1debathena2~debian6.0~0.2+b1
...
Dunno how that happened. Presumably the Source line should be
simply python-hesiod (0.2.10-1debathena2).
