python-tk and python-gdbm include the -tk and -gdbm versions from both python2.3 and 2.4, so that we are able to ship them in one package. In that case, these must be installed in /usr/lib/python. Just moving the identical files becomes a bit complex; it is handled by pycentral, but not by dh_pycentral, so you have to move them yourself.
