  I asked about this on the 4suite mailing list because I don't really
  know what can be done with distutils (if ever it can be done with them).

  I can also add:
  Build-Conflicts: python2.1-4suite (<< 0.11.99), python2.2-4suite (<< 0.11.99)

  But I don't like doing this.

  Currently I can rebuild the package without any problem.

  This kind of error message usually happens when a python script cannot
  find a __init__.py file somewhere.

  Yes, we can do this.

  
  I have one more question: AJ wants to release Woody in May, so there are not a lot 
  of weeks left. What can I do with 4suite since it is quite broken in Woody ?
  Should I release this pre0.12 or should I stick with 0.11.1 ?

  Thanks.
