Package: bitpim
Version: 1.0.6.dfsg.1-1
Severity: important

Hi,

the bitpim.links file includes the following:
        usr/share/python-support/python-dsv/DSV
        usr/share/bitpim/code/DSV

Mixing the private modules in /usr/share/bitpim and the public ones
(wherever they are) is a recipe for failure:
      * Byte-compiled files will be created in the python-support
        directory, and the package will fail to cleanup the directory
        upon removal.
      * The files location for the interpreter is different from those
        you get when importing the modules, which can lead to subtle
        bugs if both paths of using them are used.
      * This will stop working with the new python-support (currently in
        experimental), which now uses /usr/share/pyshared instead
        of /usr/share/python-support/$package.

I don’t know how bitpim works, but I strongly recommend to cleanly
separate public and private modules. If the DSV modules are installed in
the public directory, you can just import them and that should be
enough.

Please don’t hesitate to ask if you need advice on how to fix this; if
you explain why this link is here, I may find some ideas.

Thanks,

Source: bitpim
Binary: bitpim bitpim-lib
Architecture: source amd64 all

Distribution: unstable
Urgency: low
Maintainer: Aaron M. Ucko <[email protected]>

Description: 
 bitpim     - utility to communicate with many CDMA phones
 bitpim-lib - architecture-dependent helper files for BitPim
Closes: 516247
Changes: 
 bitpim (1.0.6.dfsg.1-2) unstable; urgency=low
 .
   * debian/links: eliminate extraneous symlink /usr/share/bitpim/code/DSV
     -> /usr/share/python-support/python-dsv/DSV, which served only to work
     around a long-ago short-lived python-support bug (#363505) and will
     dangle in the presence of a version of python-dsv built with p-s 0.9,
     which establishes a different layout.  (Closes: #516247.)
   * debian/control: make both binary packages depend on ${misc:Depends} in
     case debhelper ever decides to list anything there.
   * debian/copyright: clarify LGPL reference; in particular, list the
     (first) relevant version's path rather than a convenience symlink.
   * Upload to unstable, as lenny has released.
