Hi again, 

I made some more progress on packaging HTSeq. 
* I switched to git-buildpackage style packaging.
* Its now installing the user scripts into /usr/bin
* It now builds (and installs!) man pages for the  
* Upstream claims the main purpose of HTSeq is to write your own analysis
  scripts. so I think the name python-htseq makes sense.
* Lintian is only complaining about spelling errors and I'd like to wait to 
  fix those by working with upstream.

I replaced the previous bare-packaging git repository with the gbp style one 
at https://github.com/detrout/python-htseq.

If that looks decent I can push to alioth.
