I should think that most of it should be somewhere under
/usr/share/pyjamas, the builder probably not, but it needs a better name
pyjamas-build or so to go into /usr/bin.

Not more like make? I never called pyjs directly.

I wouldn't unless one needs to call it directly. Also, lose the .py for
stuff in /usr/bin

Similar.

These (both "*"s) should all go somewhere under /usr/share/pyjamas.
share vs. lib is whether the files are *arch*-dependent, which they are not.

Well, the question I'd have is whether pyjamas really is stable enough
to go into unstable.

For the most part, you seem to have figured it all out already.
