> Beautiful Soup 3.1 is broken. however, as it has some more features
than 3.0 it should be provided in a separate packages.

That is not something that can be easily done with Python packages, only
a single version can be in th archive at a time. BeautifulSoup 4 looks
like it'll have the package name "beatifulsoup" so it may be installable
concurrently with 3.x which is called "BeautifulSoup" (on unix).

I've taken over the maintainance of this package on Debian, and now need
to work out how best to handle this... :/
