Yes, but in this case you need to do something about the reverse
dependencies. Fortunately there is only one, which is pyscrabble-server.

Maybe the sanest solution is to rename the package python2.4-zodb;
otherwise this implies it provides the module for the current python
version, which won’t be the case anymore when 2.5 is the default.
