please consider python2.4 / python2.4-doc for testing



 python2.4  (2.4.6-1) unstable; urgency=medium

   * New upstream release (security fixes only).
     - Prevent expandtabs() on string and unicode objects from causing a
       segfault when a large width is passed on 32-bit platforms.
       CVE-2008-5031. Closes: #507317.
     - Remove patches applied upstream.
   * Avoid bashisms in example script. Closes: #489648.
   * Don't include extensions in the package, which did fail to build.

compared to the 2.4.5 release, 2.4.6 has security updates only; all
changes besides the fix for 507317 were already applied in 2.4.5-6.

the change not to include extensions in the package, which did fail to
build was seen with a local build with tcl8.5/tk8.5 installed.

the corresponding python2.4-doc upload just updates the version number.
