and I expected you to use google, find what b-d and b-d-i are, try to understand what's their use-case and in case of doubt ask here (if it's a strictly python question) or on debian-mentors (if it's a general questions) - unmatched expectation it seems. Ah, you can also look at what other packages does - it's a very good way to learn "how to package". > Now I ought to educate myself about autotools, makefiles and all that > low level stuff that I don't really care about when writing in Python. > There are good chances that I won't do this, and as a result won't be > able to help you in maintaining. ahah nice try - f.e. why would you need to "educate" yourself about autotools? it's a non sequitur from b-d vs b-d-i question: care to explain?
