Package: python-rpy
Version: 0.99.2-4
Severity: important

The rpy python modules appear to be installed into the pycentral
tree, but they are not linked to the pythonX.Y/site-packages
directories.

I assume that they need to be symlinked by pycentral, that is what
seems to happen with Numeric (which works).  Not being a debian
developer, I'm not really able to make heads or tails of the Debian
Python Policy.  I downloaded the source to the python-rpy package,
but found all the ``How to Use pycentral'' steps seemingly done.
So I'm sorta at the stopping point of my knowledge and abilities.

The python-rpy modules per-se work AOK (see below), I just have to add
the pycentral path to my PYTHONPATH (this is my workaround).
