I named carbon package python-carbon because of the existing
python-whisper package.
Perhaps the packages should be named:
graphite-whisper
graphite-carbon
graphite-web (the webinterface, not yet packaged)

This are only warnings about missing manpages.

Seems to be normal - perhaps ask twisted maintainers.

yes, I can do that.

see next.
> debian/python-carbon.postinst
> - why is this script taking care of creating "Graphite User"
because the whisper database files should owned by the user that runs
the webinterface. If you have different users you will get troubles
running the webinterface and carbon is "part" of Graphite. Without
Carbon you can't run Graphite. We can name that directory carbon but
this will confuse users.
Thanks,
