title: How to install python2.6-dev on Debian Testing
body: <p>I'm using Linux Mint Debian Edition (eq. Debian Testing). There is no <code>python2.6-dev</code> package, which I'd need to install pycrypto for Python 2.6 (since it has a compilation step).</p>
  
  <p>Is there any way to get this package or an equivalent on my system? I already have installed Python 2.6 in my system and I can use it without a hitch.</p>
  
  <p>(The <code>python2.7-dev</code> package is there just fine. But I'm glued to 2.6, so it doesn't suit my needs.)</p>
