you can add namespace_packages=['gearman'] to setup.py if it uses setuptools/distribute (pure distutils is not enough) and that's all, dh_python2 will do the rest (remove __init__.py file and recreate it at install time). If you don't want to patch upstream files you can pass the namespace name to dh_python2 directly via --namespace (dh_python2 --namespace gearman). -- Piotr Ożarowski Debian GNU/Linux Developer www.ozarowski.pl www.griffith.cc www.debian.org GPG Fingerprint: 1D2F A898 58DA AF62 1786 2DF7 AEF6 F1A2 A745 7645 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-rc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
