This is a wrong assumption, because it is not the bug and the bug was
addressed, which I also wrote you.

The python26-babel subpackage relies on python 2.6 and the SPEC file
requires python26-distribute. Here is an excerpt from git, branch el5:

|  3 %if 0%{?el5}
|  4 %global with_python26 1
|  5 %global py26dir %{_builddir}/python26-%{name}-%{version}-%{release}
|  6 %global __python26 /usr/bin/python2.6
|  7 %global python26_sitelib /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages
|  8 # Disable byte compiling. Do ourselves later.
|  9 %global __os_install_post %(echo '%{__os_install_post}' | sed -e 's!/usr/lib[^[:space:]]*/brp-python-bytecompile[[:space:]].*$!!g')░
| 10 %endif
| 11 
| 12 
| 13 %if 0%{?with_python26}
| 14 BuildRequires:  python26-devel
| 15 BuildRequires:  python26-distribute
| 16 %endif
