As far as I know, the maintainer of the wxPython package is the same (Ron) and 
Ubuntu just uses the upstream wxPython from Debian. However, I see above that 
you are referencing wxPython 2.4 and not 2.6. It is very possible that for 
wxPython 2.4, there is only a Python 2.3 package.

wxPython 2.4 is obsolete. If possible, wxPython 2.6 should be used. But, I don't 
know if it is available for Python 2.4 under Debian (or Ubuntu, for that matter).
