OK, from man dh_python2: "It's still a good idea to provide __init__.py file in one of binary packages (even if all other packages use this feature)." Now I see that postinst script calls pycompile that creates the __init__.py files. And the time when files may be not available are between unpack and postinst, but a daemon restarting at the same time may catch exactly that moment? >> It also fixes an awful problem in oneiric, if schooltool is installed: >> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/zope.interface/+bug/851038 >> >> Bad timing, I understand. > > It's not just the timing, it's bad.
