Python2.4 is available in testing and unstable. It's just not in the
current stable.

I'm not sure where you are seeing this build dependency. Since it
appears you are using stable, then looking at:
http://packages.debian.org/stable/web/konqueror
and I don't see any dependencies on python.

This probably is still in stable to maintain backwards compatibility to
older versions of python. On the description page for distutils, it
says:
"Beginning with Python version 1.6 the distributions utilities are
included in the upstream Python source and can be found in the
python<X>.<Y>-dev packages."
