As I checked oldstable package
%:
dh $@
If everything is clean and neat, this change should have been the only
thing needed for backports for important things, but things are a bit
messy.

I looked into this anyway. This squeeze package was made before I
reorganized packaging to my taste.
The source comes with setup.py. I now use setup.py to generate files to
be installed for wheeze/jessie. Back then, the source was patched and
installed directly from source tree. There are patches such as:
# For Debian Python-support
--- a/getmail_maildir
+++ b/getmail_maildir
@@ -26,6 +26,8 @@
import os
+sys.path.append("/usr/share/getmail4")
+
from getmailcore.message import Message
from getmailcore.utilities import *
from getmailcore.exceptions import *
Hmmm... this python-support thing, I do not remember how it should be
done.
It looks like modules were installed into
/usr/share/getmail4/getmailcore by getmail.install. This does not look
normal search path used even in these days. That was why these
sys.path.append() was needed. Yack.
Although I am not comfortable to package this way if I do it again (I
inherited it and did not touch it back then.), I should do the same
strange packaging style again considering oldstable update if I do.
If I have time, I may make test package...
I need to check how python-support package used to be used back then.
If anyone can give my guidance for how lts packages should be made in
this case, let me know. (Now I am leaning to follow the old ugly
packkging style of squeeze package.)
