Binary package hint: python-libtorrent

Hi!

I have a friendly bug-report for the Jaunty devs. After installing alpha
5, many python based apps cannot meet their requirements.

For background,

I have damn near every python library installed (2.5, 2.6, 3.0) so as to
optimize compatibility.  When trying to re-install Deluge (since it was
removed from my install by a sudo apt-get dist-upgrade) i get the
following output

eric at PwnBox-Alpha:~$ sudo apt-get install deluge

Is this a problem with my machine or a problem in the repo or where is
the issue?  I can provide more information upon request.

EDIT: This affects AWN plugins and compiz-settings-manager as well.
Seems like python <2.6 based apps are not working so well now...

Cheers,
Eric
