Um, dev-lang/python-2.5 is the lowest version still in the tree.

My thought was that if someone had python-2.4 still installed for some reason, this ebuild shouldn't force the user to update to 2.5 or higher, but then of course I'm not too familiar with the official gentoo policy on such matters ;)

Still someone with python-2.4? I propose to close this bug

qemu-user has been removed from the tree as its functionality has been superseded by the combined app-emulation/qemu package.  if you find the qemu package does not support something that the qemu-user package did, please file a new bug explicitly detailing things so we can get it added.
