We could probably call python-support in the rules file, if it's not done automagically by cdbs. ;)
I certainly recommend to use one of thos Python install systems, not try to outsmart them.
Doing so with CDBS goes roughly like this:
* Include CDBS class python-module.mk
* Declare above CDBS inclusions which Python install system to use
* Add proper ${python:*} variables to control file
* Follow documentation of the chosen Python install system on what
other hints is needed
* Update build dependencies
In addition, http://www.debian.org/doc/packaging-manuals/python-policy/ch-module_packages.html says Python packages are directories containing at least a __init__.py, other modules, extensions and packages (A package in the Python sense is unrelated to a Debian package)From these lines, I don't think we're required to package this very ffado-specific python support module into a separate package, it probably won't make any sense at all. (there is nobody else relying on it)The debconf package also places a debconf.py in site-packages.
Fair enough - if not a module then it need not be packaged separately, but packaging still needs to follow Python Policy.
