While I'm a big fan of python-stdeb, I should also point out that at UDS-N, James Westby laid out a plan and an architecture for a tool to make it easy to "debianize" many different types of packages, not just Python ones. There would be common parts and language-specific parts. Thus a lot of what python-stdeb does would land in this tool and we (Pythoneers) could write the plug-in to parse the setup.py and write the rules file. I don't think anything's been actually written yet, but James was (IIRC) going to set up a forum to discuss it and a code repository somewhere. -Barry
