interpreter / stdlib split

[C.J. Adams-Collier]

Hey folks,

I'm pretty new to packaging python.  Apologies in advance if I'm making
bad assumptions.  I recently packaged IronPython.  It can optionally use
the libraries from the standard python library.  It doesn't seem that
these libs are distributed separately from the cpython interpreter.
Would it be worth the effort to split the interpreter and the standard
library into separate packages?  I don't know whether jython is capable
of loading the library, but if it is, it seems reasonable to split
things up a bit.

Thoughts?

I'm able to build from svn with svn-buildpackage:

svn://svn.debian.org/svn/python-modules/packages/nltk/trunk

Could someone do a quick policy audit and point me toward the policy
docs so I can address any issues that exist?

Cheers,
