Hi,

only gmpc and glade3 depend upon ige-mac-integration.
gmpc doesn't use the python bindings, so it's safe.

glade3 does however provide a python25 variant and a quartz variant 
(depending upon ige-mac-integration).
Those variants will conflict if ige-mac-integration is upgraded to python26.
In turn, only gnome-developer-tools depends upon glade3 and it has no 
dependents.

What is difficult is to simultaneously build python25 and python26 
bindings. But I propose to add a python26 variant to ige-mac-integration 
and register it as conflicting with python26. This is not too difficult. 
Of course, the combination glade3+python25+quartz plus 
ige-mac-integration+python26 will be broken...
