Re: Embedded six.py in many packages: can someone add a lintian check?

Eeek. Some of these embeddings are even nested:
sympy -> mpmath -> six
txclib -> urllib3 -> six
feedgenerator -> (parts of) django.utils -> six
To avoid that it grows out of proportion, can someone add a lintian
check for that? I'd be *very* happy to have this check for myself as
well, so that I don't miss it once more (it's quite easy to miss...).
Person who decides to do that could use the embedded-feedparser-library
tag as a template. (Or, if they are more ambitious, they could implement
something more generic for detecting embedded copies of Python modules.)
Also, am I the only one that believe this is a bug, and that we should
do mass bug-filling?
It's absolutely a bug.
