Please sync pydb 1.17-1 from Debian Sid (main). Ubuntu changes were:

 * Build against python2.4.

 Overwriting Ubuntu changes is OK, as they are now incorporated in the Debian package (and the package builds and installs fine in a clean Edgy pbuilder):

pydb (1.17-1) unstable; urgency=low

  * New upstream release on July 29th, 2006. Pydb is now developed by Rocky
    Bernstein <rocky@panix.com>. See http://bashdb.sourceforge.net/pydb/ for
    more information on how it differs from the old (1.01) pydb.

    the pydb evolution to the present day.
