The egg location is fixed by a more recent python-support.

POX advised on IRC that I should go with python-memcache. I've done
that, and the packaging materials are now in the debian-python repo:

http://svn.debian.org/wsvn/python-modules/packages/python-memcache/trunk/

I've uploaded a new package to:

http://mentors.debian.net/cgi-bin/sponsor-pkglist?action=details;package=python-memcache

with this and several other changes suggested by POX.

Thanks in advance for any further feedback.
