I got these replies: http://lists.debian.org/debian-legal/2013/01/msg00034.html http://lists.debian.org/debian-legal/2013/01/msg00035.html http://lists.debian.org/debian-legal/2013/02/msg00007.htmlThey all seem to indicate that the additional clause is non sense, but the license is acceptable.
Fair enough.

The patch that fixes this is huge, and clearly not maintainable. Please make sure this problem is fixed upstream by their next release.Please also ask them to not include *.pyc files in the tarballs.I will do, if I will ever be able to get in contact with someone upstream. Unfortunately the original author is not working anymore for RTWH Aachen University. I wrote two times to the head of the department responsible for this software to ask about the license and to ask if there is anyone that I can contact to provide patches, but I received no answer yet.
If it turns out the upstream is dead, I'd suggest dropping the indentation_fixes patch and living with the ugliness of tabs+spaces indentation.
You don't need to build-depend on both python-all-dev and python-all. The former is enough.
Are the Python modules shipped by this package supposed to be used by other software?
If not, they should be moved to a private directory.If yes, then they need to be renamed or moved into a namespace, because their are way to generic ("tool", "misc", etc.).
