Package: asciidoc
Version: 8.5.1-1
Severity: normal

Hi Fredrik,

As more tools are building on top of asciidoc, it is now required to be
released as a .py file. You can find the whole discussion at

http://groups.google.com/group/asciidoc/browse_thread/thread/66e7b59d12cd2f91?hl=en

Here is a brief recap:

Symptom:
--------

My asciidoc is Debian binary release. It doesn't have asciidoc.py
anywhere, only /usr/bin/asciidoc. So I created the symlink the other
way around:

$ dir /usr/bin/asciidoc*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 220309 2009-11-01 05:20 /usr/bin/asciidoc*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root      8 2010-01-04 10:27 /usr/bin/asciidoc.py ->
asciidoc*

But I still get the . . . error. 

Solution:
---------

The problem with this approach is that blogpost follows symlinks to the the
actual file (/usr/bin/asciidoc) so there's effectively no change. Rename
asciidoc to asciidoc.py and create an asciidoc symlink to
asciidoc.py.
