Does it?  Not on my system.

  $ dpkg -l python python2.3 python2.4 lyx-common
  [...]
  ii  python         2.3.4-5        An interactive high-level object-oriented
  ii  python2.3      2.3.4-18       An interactive high-level object-oriented
  ii  python2.4      2.4-2          An interactive high-level object-oriented
  ii  lyx-common     1.3.4-2        High Level Word Processor - common files

  $ ls -l /usr/bin/python
  lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root 9 Dec  1 10:19 /usr/bin/python -> python2.3

I suspect you have unofficial python and python2.4 packages, maybe some
earlier version from experimental or something.  What do the above
"dpkg -l" and "ls -l" commands say on your system?
