Is it a requirement -- is it a bug to include the compiled > python files in the .deb? they are not included because that would just be extra space taken up in the .deb file for something which can be generated on the users machine. also, different versions of python might havent different formats for the bytecode (.pyc files) and thus the output of the compilation process would be different depending on what version of python is installed. is there any reason you want the files installed? -- gram
