Distutils extensions for Debian

[Grant Bowman <grantbow@grantbow.com>]

Hi all,

I just subscribed to this list.  I am reading about Distutils in
"Distributing Python Modules."  In chapter 2.1 I see mention of Windows
(bdist_wininst), RPM (bdist_rpm), Solaris (bdist_pkgtool) and HP-UX
(bdist_sdux).  

        http://www.python.org/doc/current/dist/simple-example.html

How hard would it be to (eventually) add upstream support for something
like bdist_dpkg?

I'm confident that assisting Python developers in creating basic Debian
source packages would be beneficial.

Regards,
