That is a very brief document, which doesn't say how I should control the building of debug libraries. In fact, the only mention is to suggest “build depend on python3-all, python-all-dbg, pypy, etc.” which reads more like a “you know, just do the usual stuff”, and doesn't say any special effect of those dependencies. So no, the manpage doesn't help here. > or > http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=dh-python/dh-python.git;a=blob;f=pybuild.rst#l19 Entries in VCS aren't documentation for the tool.

Okay, my point is that I've switched from explicitly calling ‘pythonN.N-dbg setup.py’ to relying on “pybuild” implicit behaviour, and the behaviour has changed. The documentation doesn't help me to understand the change. > It installs to /usr/lib/python3.3/ not only for -dbg interpreters, it > does the same for regular ones as well. dh_python* later moves these > files to /usr/lib/python3/ Based on what? The only change is that I've removed the explicit rules I listed earlier, and ‘dh_python3’ no longer finds the debug library files. > PS did I mention that pybuild doesn't replace dh_python2 nor dh_python3? > (duno why but a lot of people assume that pybuild is yet another dh_* > helper - it's not, it's dh *buildsystem*) That might be a useful clarification in the manpage. -- \ “Whatever you do will be insignificant, but it is very | `\ important that you do it.” —Mohandas Gandhi | _o__) | Ben Finney -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-python-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
