Package: python-dateutil
Version: 1.4.1-2

Hi,

The python-dateutil rules file contains the following:
binary-install/python-dateutil::
        rm -f 
debian/python-dateutil/usr/share/python-support/python-dateutil/dateutil/zoneinfo/zoneinfo-*.tar.gz

With the upcoming version of python-support (currently in experimental),
such statements will be moot, since the files are now moved to a
different directory (/usr/share/pyshared). The package will build, but
it will contain the zoneinfo-*.tar.gz files.

I suggest that you do such things before the call to dh_pysupport. For
example, doing it in the install target:
install/python-dateutil::
        rm -f debian/python-dateutil/usr/lib/`pyversions 
-d`/site-packages/dateutil/zoneinfo/zoneinfo-*.tar.gz

As a general rule, please do not rely on the internals of python-support
in the packaging; this will avoid such issues in the future (although
hopefully there won’t be a need to change the paths any further).

Thanks,
