Right. We could get around this by making several python mapscript
packages, one for python 2.3 and one for python 2.4. Probably a good
idea anyway, as both are available in Debian.
Does the source package build without problems on ubuntu?

Ah, postgis. It is as far as I understand dependent on the version of
postgresql as well. It is a hard package to handle, but I hope it is
possible to get it in an upgradable state. :)
Why is ubuntu using an older version of libgoes? I thought they tried
to stay ahead of Debian version-vise.
Does your report mean that all the other debian gis tools (thuban,
grass, qgis, gpx2shp, etc) work in ubuntu?
