Ah, I was hoping noone would look at the package I built :-).

When Paul Wise was kind enough to repackage my Urwid libraries I learned 
that I was not creating packages the way I should be.

I've put the dsc and tarball that I used to create the debian packages 
on excess.org up (such that they are):
http://excess.org/templayer/python-templayer_1.2.dsc
http://excess.org/templayer/python-templayer_1.2.tar.gz

The packages I've made have separate deb files for each version of 
python (python2.1-templayer, etc.) and one python-templayer package that 
is empty but depends on python2.3-templayer.
