Eh, it's not that I can't... it that if I do, I either have to go through
a lot of hassle to package it myself, or I have to go through a lot of
hassle to make all the packages that depend on python ignore the fact
that there's no python package listed as installed.  A pain either way.
(I _might_ be able to grab a package version out of sarge and recompile
to avoid a library-version-incompatibility cascade which would require
me to upgrade half my system to possibly broken versions... but still,
a nuisance).

*nod* I'll tell ya if you broke it for me. ;-)
