Package: gitosis
Version: 0.2+20080825-7
Severity: important

Hi,

currently the gitosis package ships the .py files inside a directory
named "gitosis-0.2-py2.5.egg". It also ships a site.py file at the root
of the directory, which will be just ignored unless another package does
the same mistake.

We don’t ship Python modules as eggs in Debian, as it breaks the
expectations of packages depending on them. Furthermore, it is more
fragile and does not allow detecting for file conflicts.

The policy about eggs has not yet written, but the usage is already
here, and for good reasons. In short, don’t do that.

Please don’t hesitate to ask if you need help on fixing this issue.

Thanks,
