What do you mean, "look for" modules there? Are you proposing that these packages ship files under /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages, or that python-central find modules under this directory at build-time and move them to /usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages? AIUI, the former would be contrary to upstream's wishes regarding the organization of distro-provided modules. > If this is the case, python-central needs to be NMUed to handle > such packages. There is no bug filed against python-central for this. An NMU would be out of order. -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
