>Description:
	I upgraded Python 2.4 -> 2.5 following this command in UPDATING.
    portupgrade -o lang/python25 lang/python24

    Unfortunately, this leaves the python metapackage at python 2.4, so when I
    then run portupgrade -a, it wants to upgrade again, rebuilding python 2.5
    yet again. 

    [msoulier@kanga ~]$ pkg_info | grep python
    mod_python-3.3.1    Apache module that embeds the Python interpreter
    within the
    python-2.4.4,1      The "meta-port" for the stable version of Python
    interprete
    python25-2.5.1      An interpreted object-oriented programming language

    Should not a python upgrade procedure include a process to pull the meta
    package forward?
>How-To-Repeat:
	Install python 2.4 from older ports snapshot when 2.4 was current,
    installing via the python metapackage. Then update to the latest ports
    snapshot and upgrade python using the instructions in UPDATING.
>Fix:
    Upgrade the python metapackage, rebuilding python 2.5 yet again.

 This PR seems to have gone nowhere.  Python 2.5 has been the default  
 for some time now.   The underlying issue may or may not be solved,  
 but if it's lurking it won't show again until 2.6 becomes the  
 default.  I suspect that changes that keep the python 2.5 meta-package  
 from being installed have made this a non-issue.
 
 Any objections to closing this PR?
 
 Thanks,
