| Hi Dirk,
| 
| Consider adding support for python 2.4. Trivial patch against current

I was thinking about this, yes.

| version follows. I have installed it and it at least loads into python2.4
| without complaint, but I have not done any testing. I don't currently use
| rpy and am doing this for someone else.

Neither do I, so how would either one of use take it for a testdrive? ;-)
 
| We can take this version for a test run and report any problems we encounter
| back here.
| 
| Note that I have not versioned the python2.4-dev in Build-depends, but I am
| not sure why it is necessary.

Build daemons, which always start from a minimal base system, fail if
required packages are not listed.  Put the stress on BUILD and then on
DEPENDS and it all becomes clear :)

Kidding aside, maybe just python2.4 would do too, but I had too many bug
reports on Builds-Depends over the years to have any interest in minimizing
the respective sets.

Cheers, Dirk
