OK, then I'm afraid you need to make a few more changes to the package
before the python 2.5 migration.
Currently, the package is using /usr/bin/python and a number of public
modules. When the default python version changes, the package will stop
being installable as it can only work with version 2.4.

It's subtly different. The debian/pyversions file is about public
modules; setting "2.4" in it tells python-support that the package
uses /usr/bin/python and only supports version 2.4 of the interpreter.
Hence the "Depends: python (<< 2.5)" that you are obtaining. (We are
forcing public modules to be available for the default python version.)
Using "dh_pysupport -V 2.4" tells python-support that the package is
using /usr/bin/python2.4 instead of /usr/bin/python. It doesn't change
how dependencies are computed for scripts (it looks for python2.4 in the
shebang), but it changes the behavior for *private* modules. In this
case, they will always be considered as modules for 2.4, even when the
default python version moves to 2.5. There will be a dependency on
python2.4 instead of python (>= 2.4, << 2.5), and the package will
remain installable.
So, to sum up, I think these are the required steps for your package:
* move all modules from /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages to a
private directory: /usr/share/democracyplayer
* patch /usr/bin/democracyplayer to set the shebang to python2.4
* also patch it with sys.path.append("/usr/share/democracyplayer")
* call dh_pysupport -V2.4
Feel free to ask if you need some help or a complete patch.
Cheers,
