I guess learning is a step-by-step procedure, but it is painful! Actually, the seup script provided with the package installs the changelog and other files by itself ONLY if it is run as root. So, as I was using pbuilder, I found the mistake. I have commented out the offensive line in setup.py, and have produced clean debs using pdebuild. Again, please find them at http://www.ee.iitm.ac.in/~ee03b091/debpkgs As they are built using pdebuild, I guess this would be really all right. And, there was a source indentation error in feedparser.py, which I noticed while byte compiling. I have corrected that as well. And, thanks for the patient hearing; sorry for the poor packaging; excuse a beginner! However, what beats me is that dpkg-buildpackage did not give these errors... but it's pbuilder to the rescue, I guess.
