yep, can't be ignored.

before uploading 1.34.1 with python 2.4 only, I want to be sure there
is no way in building two flavours of Boost.Python, 2.4 and 2.5.

it was required to change the soname, I would prefer to change the
python 2.4 one, which is anyway going away probably before lenny.

the extra package could be named libboost-python1.34.1-python-2.4,
just to continue the long-names saga.
