I wasn't following this effort before -- forgive me if that had been talked about before. Looks like the Python-bindings (and others too) should go into separate binary packages and be handled by proper tools. pysupport should take care of all Python-related issue (including the one above). Is there any reason for this verbose rules file. Both debhelper7 and cdbs should help a lot with the common cases of packaging (like this one) and also provide convenient helpers for python packages. I might be able to help with the general and python-related aspects of this packaging, but wanted to ask first if there is need to stay close to the current state? Right now the packaging looks quite raw -- lots of unused/unedited files. The rules file only seems to build the python-bindings and none of the rest -- including the main library -- is that intended? Given these facts the binary package should be named 'python-sigar'. Is there a repository for this packaging somewhere? You chose to take an SVN snapshot (upstream also offers the code in git). Did you just download that snapshot or have the code in a repository together with the packaging?
