Decorate only the shared library names with the python versions, and retain the current names for the .a files and .so symlinks - with two separate -dev packages that conflict with one another? That still prevents anyone from packaging an extension that builds for both python2.4 and python2.5 at once using Boost.Python, but I think it solves all the other drawbacks of the other solutions you suggested.
