ok -- few more points
* is it really necessary to depend on +dfsg'ed version of sphinx? i.e.
python-sphinx (>= 1.0.7+dfsg)
unless strictly needed, I would appreciate if it becomes
python-sphinx (>= 1.0.7~)
asking because in NeuroDebian we still carry backport of 1.0.7-2 ;)
* upstream provides a mighty unittest battery. minimalistic/default
version ran in 280 sec on my box, so imho acceptable and desired to be
enabled to be ran during package build time. I have ran it simply
through
PYTHONPATH=$PWD/.. python -c 'import tables; tables.test()
from build directory after building extensions in place. Ideally it
should imho be ran against version "installed" under debian/.
I enable testing for all of my packages where there are tests
batteries and it has been proven indispensable especially for reliable
backporting
* debhelper 8 -- may be I have missed some news (I am somewhat
non-compliant myself and using 7 for the sake of easy backports for
elderly releases), but why (>= 8.1.0) and not just (>= 8) (squeeze
carries 8.0.0)
Cheers,
