lazr is a namespace package, which presents problems for the Debian ecosystem in Python 2. Because there would be subpackage contention for ownership on the lazr/__init__.py file, actually *no* package owns it, and instead the Python helpers manage that file as needed. This is solved in Python 3 by PEP 420. https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0420/ Cheers, -Barry
