Old packages which should be removed with the new python package?

I recently pacman -Syu'ed and got all the new updates Arch has to offer. In doing this, quodlibet wouldn't work anymore. Doing my own investigation, it apparently looks for libs in /usr/lib/python-2.4 before /usr/lib/python-2.5 come to find out a bunch of old packages still use /usr/lib/python-2.4 and therefore the folder sticks around and quodlibet complains it cant find what it needs in /usr/lib/python-2.4 when it is in fact in /usr/lib/python-2.5

I then proceeded to pacman -Qo /usr/lib/python-2.4 and remove packages until i could successfully delete the folder with no packages owning it. I would then assume, that the packages I had to remove need to be rebuilt with the new python. If someone can confirm my logic here, I'll post a bug report and  hopefully this clears up some of the python migration issues that seem to be cropping up.

Edit: I just realized that a good deal of these packages could be ones that I built from the AUR, but hopefully theres a few in there from current and extra which will help the devs, and hopefully if nothing else it'll help some other people out there.
