ISTR a debate about python, at > least, and the compiling of modules at install time. If I understand correctly, this allows more architecture independence; python _source_ is distributed by debian, and is compiled at install time for the particular runtime architecture. That way python stuff can be Architecture: All, rather than Architecture: Any, which saves a factor of 10 on the mirrors for that package. Please correct me; I'm not a python person, but I do have to fix lintian's complaints about .pyc bytecode files in one of my packages .. sometime. Justin
