Comment(by blb@…):

 2.5 is partly a framework build, and technically should be more like 2.6;
 however, making that change would require some severe pain for all people
 who have it and ports depending on it currently installed.

 2.6+ should be like 2.6 is (2.5's method of framework build causes a
 symlink issue, if you search for "not a directory" during activation,
 that's the problem) and we really should be pushing everything away from <
 2.6 at this point.  I've moved some ports that way, but there are still
 more.  Once done then hopefully all the py- and py25- ports can simply be
 removed.
