python2.4 package

All python `idle` packages use the same name in Applications menu

Bug Description

There are three packages that install IDLE:
idle
idle-python2.5
idle-python2.4

All of these add a shortcut called 'IDLE' to the programming section of the Applications menu. Could the last two be changed so they can be distinguished? For example, the Applications menu could show:
IDLE
IDLE-py2.5
IDLE-py2.4

btw, since idle and idle-python2.5 are both the same, is it possible to make them mutually exclusive?
