Looks interesting, esp for some work I'll have to do soon :)

Well i've performed some changes in the python-ipcalc package as you proposed.
Here are some quick findings, more to come:
0. why is the package native? it shouldn't be.
Done
1. short desc should be "perform IP subnet calculations", the fact it
is a python module comes directly from the package name :)
Done
2. you set build-deps on dh7, but don't use any of it's features? you
could shorten the debian/rules *a lot* with it.
3. debian/docs and debian/dirs are empty, please remove them if you
dont need them.
Done
4. Standards-Version should be 3.8.2
Done
5. Please use python-central or python-support and not hardcode python
>= 2.0 in depends, use ${python:Depends}.
Done
6. long desc is somewhat short :)
Done
7. You ship only a .py file, thus package should be arch:all, not any.
Done
lintian would have told you about 0, 4 and 6.
That's all for now. Please fix the above and I'll have another look.
The package still have to warning, "binary-arch-rules-but-pkg-is-arch-indep" and "empty-debian-diff"
Please can you help me with this.
Regards
Evgeni
