I started trying to implement this properly, but soon came to the conclusion that this isn't really the right thing to do. The intent of pyinstall files is not as a dh_install clone, for pulling files from debian/tmp, but rather as a simple mechanism for installing Python modules when the upstream doesn't provide an installer. > getfem++ has debian/python3-getfem++.pyinstall containing > debian/tmp/usr/lib/python*/*-packages/getfem/*.py getfem > interface/src/python/*.so getfem I think the second line in your pyinstall makes sense, installing something from the source tree that upstream didn't install for you. But for the first one, pulling something from debian/tmp, dh_install is probably the better tool. The only argument I can see for handling dh_missing properly with pyinstall files is so that these two tasks can go in one place. SR -- Stefano Rivera http://tumbleweed.org.za/ +1 415 683 3272
