Right, this will probably be something close to final. 1.I have adapted (read shamelessly copied) the ideas and part of the rules file from python-imaging and have learnt how to make multiple packages from a single source package. 2.I have created python-goopy, python2.3-goopy and python2.4-goopy, and think (after reading) that they now adhere to the Python Policy. 3.There is one executable in goopy, and I have ensured that it does have executable permissions and starts with #!/usr/bin/python2.[34] appropriately. However, I have NOT done anything to the docs, and feel that the docs aren't neccesary; users are expected to look at the source for docs. Moreover, the docs in the package are misleading, as has been pointed out. So, this is probably the only thing left, unless you find something else... I have uploaded the packages (again) to http://kumar.travisbsd.org/debpackages Please inform me of any other flaws, and whether this package can become my first contribution to the universal operating system :-) Thanks.
