Maybe I was unclear. It's not included in the source tarballs, the Python interpreter generates it automatically at package build time as a side effect of being invoked. Yes I could add bespoke clean rules to delete these autogenerated files (it's the most straightforward approach though does mean a package revision and bothering a sponsor as I'm not a DD), but since a vast number of other Python-based projects' packages are also affected it makes more sense to have debhelper/dh_python or similar just take care of excluding it automatically so that packaging configuration can be minimized and to avoid anyone bothering to upload new packages just to fix this (in my case it's the only actionable bug reported against the package in some time). -- Jeremy Stanley
