  # python-updater -vp
  [...]
  unrecognised option: -vp

Running python-updater -v -p says this (all packages except
openoffice have been emerged at least once since python was
updated):

 * Starting Python Updater from 2.4 to 2.5 :
 * check "soname" enabled.
 * check "pylibdir" enabled.
 * check "eclass" disabled.
 * check "manual" enabled.
 *   Adding to list: =dev-libs/boost-1.34.1-r2
 *     check: manual [Added to list manually]
 *   Adding to list: =x11-libs/vte-0.16.14
 *     check: manual [Added to list manually]
 *   Adding to list: =app-office/gnumeric-1.8.3
 *     check: manual [Added to list manually]
 *   Adding to list: =app-office/openoffice-2.4.1
 *     check: soname [ Libraries linked to old libpython found:

 *     ]

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:
