Apologies for not spotting it earlier, but the python2.4 diff is broken
(as is the 2.5 diff, for the same reasons).  The package doesn't build
depend on dpatch, so attempting to use patches starting

#! /bin/sh /usr/share/dpatch/dpatch-run

is destined to fail in a clean build environment.

The patches need reworking to use an application method that doesn't
depend on dpatch (i.e. the method used by the pre-existing patches).
