Thanks. That works, but raises other issues I thought we'd addressed.

I'll start a new thread with my questions.

Move that to the install target as well and replace "$*" with the version
of the current python (`pyversions -dv`).

I see what you're saying now.

Part of that target is to rename the generated egg-info directory;
Setuptools creates it as 'foo-N.M-pyX.Y.egg-info', but the
python-central documentation seems to indicate this should be renamed
to 'foo.egg-info':

# install only one Egg dir (without python's version number)
mv 
debian/${PACKAGE_NAME}/usr/lib/python$*/site-packages/${MODULE_NAME}-${DEB_UPSTREAM_VERSION}-py$*.egg-info
 \

debian/${PACKAGE_NAME}/usr/lib/python$*/site-packages/${MODULE_NAME}.egg-info

How can this be done properly without knowing the exact name
(including Python version) that Setuptools will create?
