Hi, Thanks Jeremy, that's a good catch, and I'm happy to know. A few comments here though. Having a doc package here is silly, if you consider that the generated doc is nearly empty. The only thing it will contain is the index.rst that contains a long description of the package, which is also available in debian/control, plus where to find upstream source, also described in debian/control (homepage field), and that's about it. The Python 3 module is important to me, so I wont remove it, maybe Canonical should catch up on it. Now, more in general. I don't even understand why it wasn't uploaded to Debian by the Ubuntu team. Ubuntu people have always claimed they wanted to collaborate with Debian people for the OpenStack stuff, yet when there's nobody outside of Canonical to do the work, no upload happens in Debian, it goes only to Ubuntu. So I'm tempted to say it's you guys fault here... Time to reboot the Ubuntu workflow for OpenStack? Maybe Corey should attempt to become a DD and do the work in Debian? If nothing happens to go that direction, I'm not sure I want to do any effort either. I've done enough in the past and got frustrated enough. Cheers, Thomas Goirand (zigo)
