If there is anything left in /usr/lib/python3.*/dist-packages/, it's presumably because it isn't the same across multiple Python versions. This usually points at an issue in the package being built, rather than dh_python3. pybuild isn't relevant at all, here. I had a look at this specific case, and the issue is that there are symbolic links in the module tree. That's unusual, and not something dh_python3 will de-duplicate, right now. It probably could, I haven't looked at how straightforward that would be, yet. SR -- Stefano Rivera http://tumbleweed.org.za/ +1 415 683 3272
