Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: compizconfig-settings-manager

I have python2.3 (which I compiled from old sources) installed on my newer 8.04 
installation. 
When trying to install the compizconfig-settings-manager it crashes in the 
stage where it compiles the python files to pyc since it uses some new syntax 
that did not exist in python2.3.
This is probably a very esoteric problem (I wonder how many more people 
actually need python2.3 on their machines), nevertheless the solution is very 
simple. Just changing the line:
XS-Python-Version: all
to
XS-Python-Version: >= 2.4
in the debian/control file in the source package. I guess it couldn't hurt...
