The easy fix would be for me to update the module name from python-vlc to vlc in the setup.py file. Then the stdeb generated packages will be correct. What prevented me from doing this before is the confusion it may introduce (old names references in forums), but it is feasible [1]. Another issue I have with this is that some users do not understand that python-vlc only installs bindings, not vlc itself. This will be even worse if the name is vlc, but I guess that at some point, there is not much that can be done. [1] http://legacy.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0423/#how-to-rename-a-project I can fix the package name, add the copyright info and put the resulting packaged file in some git repo. What is the preferred approach: a repository distinct from the upstream repo, or a repo integrated in the upstream repo? Olivier
