Bug#484360: destar: Fails to run with python2.5

[Eldon Koyle]

Package: destar
Version: 0.2.2-5
Severity: important

Destar fails to start.  It appears to be caused by a change in
the default python version to 2.5.  It works if I use python2.4.

This could also be a problem with python-quixote and python2.5.  A quick
fix would be to Depend: python2.4 and use python2.4 explicitly from
/usr/lib/destar/destar.py .
