Hello Jonas and the team, Here are some updates about the packaging of Scenic.

To fix this would need upstream development. (I would need to change the python path in the executables and the tests cases) Scenic currently works with Python either 2.5 or 2.6. You just need to compile the package with the same python version that is installed, and it will run. Autotools takes care of that. We provide no public module, and our project contains more C++ code than Python code. This is somewhat different from the morituri package. Rigth now, I am not mandated by the Scenic team to change the build system, unless it's for very minor changes. Our current build system seems satisfying sor far. (we're running out of time on this project) I think right now we are OK with the 3.1.1 Programs Shipping Private Modules of the Debian Python policy. http://www.debian.org/doc/packaging-manuals/python-policy/ch-programs.html#s-current_version_progs By the way: We should be ready to release the Scenic 0.6 version later this week. This release will contain big fixes, some found thanks to Debian sid!
