All i can say is that with python2.4-dev i get plugin support,
and with python2.5-dev not.

This is however a debian which additional sucks the experimental package 
archive, 
but prefers the normal unstable ('Sid'). This can lead to Magnus 'beloved' 
dependency hell
sometimes, since there's always a strong flux and insufficient dependencies may 
be
fixed only minutes after i updated the packages lists...since updating the 
lists and then
the packages is a daily task, i can't be sure to reproduce exactly the same 
conditions only 
hours later.

It turned out to be tricky to get python2.4 removed, this time, it actually 
wasn't possible.
The dependence chain finally stuck at python-libcairo, but anyway, python2.4 
*is* explicitly 
mentioned (and linked) as the default version of debian unstable. This means a 
standard installation
will install 2.4 and will never upgrade to 2.5 unless the meta-package 
maintainer changes that.
Indeed you can have several python versions in parallel (2.3 and 2.4 are 
standard, i think, though 
there may be very few packages left calling 2.3 explicitly.) By now, there may 
be some libs not 
available as 2.5 yet. I think the whole issue will be obsolete once python2.5 
will be fully operational.
