 Hi,

 as per this thread:
  http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gis.grass.devel/33808


 swig/python from releasebranch_6_4 thru trunk now fail to build on
 Debian/Etch, (apparently) because Etch shipped with SWIG 1.3.29-2.1 and
 Python 2.4, which is (apparently) just slightly too old for the newer
 functions used.

 The exact error is:  (6.4svn)
