Comment 2 for bug 392968

> Beautiful Soup 3.1 is broken. however, as it has some more features than 3.0 it should be provided in a separate packages.

That is not something that can be easily done with Python packages, only a single version can be in th archive at a time. BeautifulSoup 4 looks like it'll have the package name "beatifulsoup" so it may be installable concurrently with 3.x which is called "BeautifulSoup" (on unix).

I've taken over the maintainance of this package on Debian, and now need to work out how best to handle this... :/
