Squeze will release with Python 2.5 and Python 2.6, while Python 2.4 is scheduled for removal when no packages will depend on it. When Python 2.6 will enter unstable, Python 2.4 will be no longer supported version for module and extension building.
We're proposing a MBF for the following packages to ease transition, a brief explanation for every class of package involved follows. --------------------------- NEED CODE/PACKAGING CHANGES --------------------------- These packages build-depend or depend on one of the package built on top of python2.4 source, and will be uninstallable when those packages will be removed from Sid and Squeeze.

Maintainers of packages that build-depend or depend on these should update their packages. This will be the subject for a future MBF.
