I have moved the recent discussion on stdeb to a thread on the distutils-sig.

Barry, stdeb does much of what you're describing. (Try the python setup.py
sdist_dsc command.)
I'm not particularly pleased with the stdeb codebase as it stands, but it does
work reasonably well, and I'd like to see progress
Andrew Straw ast...@users.sourceforge.net added the comment:
Barry, I'm sorry I still don't understand what you think is the essential
distinction. A debian source package (.dsc, .orig.tar.gz, and .diff.gz files)
is simply made from a (patched) source directory, including the debian
Andrew Straw ast...@users.sourceforge.net added the comment:
I see. So is copying the debian/ directory into its desired location a
possibility for you, either manually or via a new distutils commands that
shares 99% of its code with sdist_dsc? It doesn't seem like enough of a
difference
Andrew Straw ast...@users.sourceforge.net added the comment:
As of stdeb 0.5.0, the setuptools dependency has been removed. Now stdeb
requires only plain distutils.
