AIUI you are hardcoding python 2.4, telling yourself that you will change that to 2.5 when it becomes the default. And doing that, you will make the transition of 70 other packages depend on your work. There is a good reason why automated python dependencies were introduced, and it is precisely to avoid that by being able to update packages to a new python version with only a binNMU. The real, good solution is to build the extensions for all available python versions. It is always possible but sometimes it can be quite complicated. In your case, doing it for libhk-classes-dev looks tricky because you'd have to switch the binaries with a rtupdate script, so I understand you don't want to do that, but that doesn't prevent you from making your package binNMUable. In all cases, the dependency should be made dynamic, so that it corresponds to the actual python versions your package supports. Cheers, -- .''`.
