Package: python-gdata Version: 2.0.14-2 Severity: normal Hi, python-gdata embeds a copy of Crypto (as found in python-crypto), oauth (as found in python-oauth), and tlslite (which isn't packaged separately yet).
Debian Policy states: | 4.13 Convenience copies of code | | Some software packages include in their distribution convenience copies | of code from other software packages, generally so that users compiling | from source don't have to download multiple packages. Debian packages | should not make use of these convenience copies unless the included | package is explicitly intended to be used in this way.[27] If the | included code is already in the Debian archive in the form of a library, | the Debian packaging should ensure that binary packages reference the | libraries already in Debian and the convenience copy is not used. If the | included code is not already in Debian, it should be packaged separately | as a prerequisite if possible. [28] I suggest evaluating whether these libraries have been modified for gdata, or are simply convenience copies. If possible the versions packaged for Debian should be used, by modifying the import statements or replacing them with dummy files importing the original versions.
