Package: jppy
Version: 0.0.47-1.1

Hi,

the jppy rules file contains the following:
        scons prefix=/usr jppyroot=$(DESTDIR) jppyguiroot=$(DESTDIR) 
jpilotroot=$(DESTDIR) \
              python_module_prefix=/usr/share/python-support/python-jppy/jppy
        …
build-python%-stamp:
        # build the binary module for each python we support
        scons python_version=$* \
              python_includes=/usr/include/python$* \
              mx_datetime_includes=/usr/include/python$* \
              
python_bin_module_prefix=/usr/lib/python-support/python-jppy/python$*/jppy \
              $(DESTDIR)/usr/lib/python-support/python-jppy/python$*/jppy
        …
        rm 
$(DESTDIR)/usr/share/python-support/python-jppy/jppy/__jpilotmodule.so

With the upcoming version of python-support (currently in experimental),
the files installed in /usr/lib/python-support are ignored and the built
package is, as such, broken. 

You should install these packages to a standard place instead of adding
all this complexity. Then, dh_pysupport will pick them and do whatever
is fit.

As a general rule, please avoid relying on the internals of
python-support in the packaging unless necessary; this will avoid such
issues in the future (although hopefully there won’t be a need to change
the paths any further).

Thanks,

  `-    me that if you don't install Lenny, he'd melt your brain.
