Hello, I'm the main author of ftputil and came across this bug report a few days ago.
As I'm an Ubuntu user, I'd like to see the inclusion of a python-ftputil package in the Debian repository. To this end, I've already done some work which you can inspect at http://ftputil.sschwarzer.net/trac/browser/debian . With that, I'm able to make a Debian package as well as install and uninstall it. You may also look at the Makefile in http://ftputil.sschwarzer.net/trac/browser/Makefile . When checking the Debian package with `lintian --info`, I get the following message: E: python-ftputil: FSSTND-dir-in-usr usr/doc/ N: N: As of policy version 3.0.0.0, Debian no longer follows the FSSTND. N: N: Instead, the Filesystem Hierarchy Standard (FHS), version 2.3, is used. N: You can find it in /usr/share/doc/debian-policy/fhs/ . N: N: Refer to Debian Policy Manual section 9.1.1 (File System Structure) for N: details. N: N: Severity: serious, Certainty: certain I looked at the mentioned URL which lists a directory /usr/share/doc where the documentation of my package is installed, so I don't know what the lintian message refers to. By the way of documentation: The tar.gz file of my package contains a documentation file ftputil.html which I can't find in /usr/share/doc after the installation even though the other documentation files are there. It's a while ago I did the main part of the Debian packaging; I only remember that an Ubuntu-related IRC log and the Debian Python Policy were my main sources of information. I'd like it if a Debian package maintainer took care of this package. If really no one wants to do it, I would though I wouldn't like to do it if it can't be avoided. In that case, please give me some feedback on what needs to be done to get the package into the regular Debian repositories.
