They taint our source package, though none of the 'official'
.debs created actually need it.  I've already purged the 2.4
packages that way and have a clean set (otherwise the same)
on their way for testing/Sarge.  For something shouted in caps
this problem is embarrassingly old.

Yes, this is why I've now acted to get these simply removed.
The next upload (RRSN, really), will be 2.6 and not a simple
forward compatible step for existing binary apps that are
packaged with 2.5 (once again, grmbl, mumbl ;).

It is pointless to backport things to 2.5 now when 2.6 is
fixing big issues in it still every day.  Robin just sealed
up a 2.6.0 tag for wxPython, but its no good to us because
it would have to depend on the -dev package to not crap out
randomly on gnomeprint.

I've been rolling test builds off head, and as soon as I
get a good (enough) one squirted out, I'll get it in the
upload queue.

Cheers!
Ron
