This is true, but for a rather arcane reason only: smart-notifier depends on
python2.4-dbus, which only exists now in the archive as a virtual package
provided by python-dbus, which depends on python (>= 2.4), thus ensuring
that for any user upgrading from sarge, python 2.4 will be installed and
configured before smart-notifier is.

Without this coincidental check, this would still be an RC bug; and
technically it still is for the moment in testing, because python-dbus isn't
there yet.

Cheers,

The reason it doesn't matter is that the new version of dbus has about 100
packages blocked behind it, so it's not an option to leave the old version
in etch for release. :)

Maybe not... I still see a python2.4-dbus in testing:
. Or doesn't this matter because it
no longer exists in unstable?

Presumably the severity of this bug can be lowered now that python (>=
2.4) has hit testing.
