Package: python2.6
Severity: serious
All python*-dev packages ship windows installer commands in their
distutils module, which are not being rebuilt at build time, at least I
was not able to find any trace in the logs.
Even worse on the first look there doesn't seem to be a way to compile
these files under linux at all.
This is a violation of the Debian policy 2.2.1 and it was obviously
ignored by the maintainer as he acknoledges the existance of those files
in the changelog of python2.6 (2.6.2-1) and by adding a patch to point
users to the -dev package.

Version: 2.7.3-1
* Matthias Klose <d...@debian.org>, 2012-12-13, 09:36:
The wininst-* files cannot be built within Debian from the included
sources, needing a zlib mingw build, which the zlib maintainer isn't
going to provide. Closes: #639407.
This confirms that the files in question are unbuildable in Debian,
which is what this bug is about.
there is nothing in policy which forces the removal of these files in
the source package for this case.
Fair enough.
