Wait until the Python 2.4 transition? I really do not want to maintain
three versions of a large module like python-gst.

Given that I am told every other day that the Python transition will be
"real soon now", and NEW queue appears to be at least a week, this may
even be faster than waiting for a new python-gst0.10 to pass NEW.

I know this is not a very good answer. Sorry. Debian doesn't have very
good Python packages.
