There is already one in testing and unstable;
$ apt-cache policy python2.4
python2.4:
Installed: 2.4+2.4.1rc2-1
Candidate: 2.4+2.4.1rc2-1
Version Table:
*** 2.4+2.4.1rc2-1 0
500 http://wobbly.bofh.net.au testing/main Packages
100 http://wobbly.bofh.net.au unstable/main Packages
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
If you were asking when the default python package will be upgraded to
version 2.4, I dunno... but probably not too long now 2.4.1 is released.

I dunno about these... I can't see any dependency on python for
konqueror at all, and distutils seems to have vanished (isn't this now
included in python itself?).
I suspect you are looking at an old Debian repository (ie, stable). I
recommend you use testing instead.
