[vtkusers] compilation fails

I am compiling vtk-5.6.1 on MSVC 2010 64 bit in debug mode with python
(I can not use RelWithDebInfo, it fails elsewhere).
I set PYTHON_LIBRARY to python2.7.lib and PYTHON_DEBUG_LIBRARY to
python2.7_d.lib (both in the same dir, as comes from python build
solution) but the compilation fails very early with the first
messages:

2>InitializeBuildStatus:
2>  Touching "vtkWrapPython.dir\Debug\vtkWrapPython.unsuccessfulbuild".
2>CustomBuild:
2>  All outputs are up-to-date.
2>ClCompile:
2>  All outputs are up-to-date.
2>ManifestResourceCompile:
2>  All outputs are up-to-date.
2>LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 'python27.lib'
2>
2>Build FAILED.
2>

Inspecting the vtkWrapPython target's linker input in VC I only see
python2.7_d.lib in there. It makes sense then to fail building, but I
was expecting both lib versions will be used for both Release/Debug
build.
Did I miss anything?
