Subject: cyphesis-cpp packages since at least version 0.5.15 are missing key 
files
Package: cyphesis-cpp
Version: 0.5.15-1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

*** Please type your report below this line ***

I am the upstream author of cyphesis-C++

A number of releases ago changes were made to the filesystem layout of
cyphesis after installation, and the package does not seem to have been
updated to include files which have changed location or been added.

Firstly a number of files with the suffix .xml are installed in 
/etc/cyphesis/mason.d/ and should be included in the package
cyphesis-cpp-mason. Currently only basic.xml and mason.xml are included,
meaning data which is vital for cyphesis to run usefully is missing.
The contents of this directory are likely to grow, so the package should
use a wildcard, not a fixed list of known files.

Secondly a directory full of Python files is installed in
/usr/share/cyphesis/scripts/cyphesis/ which are vital for the scripting
interface of cyphesis, and these do not seem to be included in the
package. Without a functional scripting interface, cyphesis is
effectively useless.

I can confirm this issue directly on 0.5.15, and am fairly sure the
issue applies to 0.5.16 as public servers using this version on the
internet display the same issue.
