Neither do I, so how would either one of use take it for a testdrive? ;-)
A couple of people in my research group do. I did the patching at the request of one of them. I'll hand it to him tomorrow, and he will (presumably) start using it.

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.
Just to be clear, I did list python2.4-dev. I just didn't list any version, or restrictions on version after it.
I'm sure I'm being dense, but why does this mean that python2.4-dev will not do while (as you have used) python2.4-dev (>=...) does? Would you be so kind as to spell it out?
Take care. Faheem.
