easy_install requires python 2.5

Bug Description

when installing python2.4-setuptools on Edgy Beta, apt instead installs the package python-setuptools and when I call easy_install I get:

bash: /usr/bin/easy_install: /usr/bin/python2.5: invalid Interpreter: No such file or directory

I believe the first line of easy_install should
#!/usr/bin/python
instead of
#!/usr/bin/python2.5
since the default python version is still 2.4
