I agree it should be clarified and defined properly in Python policy. As a side note, some other *NIXes (e.g. FreeBSD, IIRC) need #!/usr/bin/env as shebang due to how they distribute Python. >> * I: python-support and XB-Python-Version field > > Why bother?

There are plans to provide automatic dbgsym packages, but I don't think they can handle Python ones. I'll have a look at this matter. -- .''`. : :' : Luca Falavigna <dktrkr...@debian.org> `. `' `-
