I am sorry, still don't get it. Using ldd I see the following:
$ ldd /usr/share/python-support/python-libhamlib2/_Hamlib.so
libpython2.4.so.1.0 => /usr/lib/libpython2.4.so.1.0 (0xb7d9f000)
Adding -lpython2.4 won't help, because we do dynamic linking. We still
end up with python2.4 dependencies. The "Python binding" section in
bindings/Makefile adds the following rules:
PYTHON_LDFLAGS = -L/usr/lib/python2.4/config -lpython2.4
Which looks okay to me. We can only achieve what you want by doing
static linking, am I right?

This is a task for upstream. Currently they have decided to build
against python2.4, which is okay for me, it is also the default in
Debian. I don't have the knowledge to do a multi-build, neither has
upstream. Unless you can provide patches, which I can commit to
upstream CVS.
Thanks for explaining so far!
