I admit that I wonder how these currently 25 regular users (according to
popcon) did not stumbled upon this.  You definitely hit a bug in the
packaging.  You should report this via

     reportbug macsyfinder
 
The cause is that in

   /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/macsypy/config.py

the temporary location that is used for packaging ended up hardcoded as

   debian/macsyfinder/usr/

I'll check how to fix this but a bug report seems apropriate here.

BTW, I'll also convert the packaging from SVN to Git as you prefer.

Bertrand, assuming that the source code is on Github I assume you are
fine with maintaining the package in Git (git.debian.org) as well,
right?

Canberk, I updated the list of packages that might deserve an
autopkttest.  Please note that njplot is specifically interesting
since I would like to publish the new packaging location in an
uploaded package and its popcon is also quite high.  Please let
me know if there might be problems with njplot.


     njplot (https://anonscm.debian.org/git/debian-med/njplot.git)
     macsyfinder
     dialign-t
     poa
     proda
     picard-tools
     filo


Kind regards

       Andreas.
