Note that Ubuntu transitioned to python2.4 as the default some time ago
(and they have almost complete support for python's all the way back to
python2.1) ... given the appearance of python-minimal I think Debian is
leveraging off their work and will hopefully get there soon.
In the mean time, another alternative is to point your apt/sources.list
at an Ubuntu archive and see if you can upgrade python from there...
