I can only reiterate: This indirect calling of scripts in the build and
install targets is ugly. Especially the install part - why don't you
add this to your upstream build system if you maintain that as well?
I.e., why do you remove the static libraries in the createBALLDeb
script, instead of adding a switch/option to your upstream build system
to not build the in the first place? Why does the upstream build system
not install the files and documentation? Certainly one can do this in
the Debian build system, but this is usually only a temporary band-aid
until the upstream build system got fixed.
Also, you seem to hardcode python2.5 in the createBALLDeb script, I
think this is discouraged cause your packages will break once Debian
switches its default python version and/or removes python2.5.
cheers,
Michael
