A number of the packages identified as being affected by the ldbl transition
were false-positives, because 'long double' appeared in their headers but
was not related to declarations of symbols exported by the library itself.
python2.4-dev was such a false positive. If a bug was ever opened for it,
it's been closed and archived long ago.
You should proceed with the ldbl transition for your own package.
