Yes, please. At least one of the packages I maintain (democracyplayer) fails miserably to build and run without a libboost-python-dev for Python 2.4. I _did_ try my best to make it work with 2.5 but to no avail. Upstream doesn't know any other solution, either. And, to make it worse, large parts of the (build-time and run-time) dependencies of democracyplayer are not yet available as 2.5 versions, which makes democracyplayer unusable and unbuildable at the moment (since a few weeks now). See http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=430659#17 for a summary of my investigations so far. I have now verified that rebuilding libboost-python-dev with Python 2.4 does indeed fix democracyplayer. Please consider providing a 2.4 version of libboost-python again, otherwise democracyplayer will remain dead and unusable in Debian, I'm afraid.
