SOURCES.txt is rebuilt and not modified. From /usr/share/doc/python-distribute/html/setuptools.html (which is in python-distribute-doc): | MANIFEST.in is still read and processed, as are the standard defaults | and pruning. But the manifest is built inside the project’s .egg-info | directory as SOURCES.txt, and it is rebuilt every time the egg_info | command is run. > But, before any changes happen to the upstream build tools, I was asking > what we could do with Debian tools: Well, we could write the patch ourselves ;-). --Adam
