Those changes are in alioth are broken. The *module* should move, not the binaries. So install the binaries (and whatever else, manpages for them etc.) in fonttools but the *module* in python(3)-fonttools. If you had python2 and python3 you would want to have them co-exist, which wouldn't work when the binaries also are there. Besides that it also violates the (python) policy. Regards. Rene
