This is unfortunately difficult. python2.4 is no longer marked as supported and that means that with our python system no python2.4/site-package files are generated anymore when installing the python-distutils-extra build depend of python-apt. The tools (dh_python) are also messing around in the buld tree and remove files that look unsupported. So including 2.4 symlinks/libs in the python-apt package itself was not possible without a lot of hacking (if at all).
I now build a python2.4-apt package that contains the 2.4 files and can be co-installed with the normal python-apt. Its in lp:~mvo/python-apt/python2.4 and I will also push it to my PPA. I can try to push it for jaunty, but its already relatively late.
Thanks for your bugreport.
