I have not done that becouse it's a native package. I've just reworked it to
have a separeted /debian, orig and diff, so I also have a standard naming

fine thanks. I tryied 'sid', but that's clearly not accepted.


Last question
-------------

When testing creating the package from my newly created sources on a newer
machine (ubuntu 9.04), lintian complained:

W: python-sqlkit: embedded-javascript-library
     usr/share/doc/python-sqlkit/html/_static/jquery.js

That's clearly the jquery of the sphinx documentation. It's introduced in
the upstream package when sphinx compile the docs (not at my build time).  

Is it mecessary to fix this or I can just leave it as is (it appears as a
warning, not an error).


thanks again
