python-traitsbackendqt_3.3.0-1      Filed http://bugs.debian.org/582054

pytrainer_1.7.2-1                   Filed http://bugs.debian.org/582056

All the bugs were just errors thrown in the python-support hook, except
for python-traitsbackendqt (Bug #582054) which was an install failure.

I've usertagged them all python2.4-incompatible.

A possibly cause for these issues is Bug #582061 where the
python-support documentation isn't as clear as it could be about
specifying python-version compatibility.
