I'm not an expert by any means, but it's been my experience that the
more you trust Piotr's pybuild code to DTRT, the more it does. :)

I cloned your package locally and removed both "override_dh_*"
sections from "debian/rules" and deleted "debian/links" and it
successfully created a package with just pybuild, including installing
dwarf and dwarf-manage in /usr/bin.  Is there a specific reason to
override what pybuild is doing?

Here's what I get after removing those sections, building, installing,
and testing the result:

| # dwarf
| libvirt: XML-RPC error : Failed to connect socket to
'/var/run/libvirt/libvirt-sock': No such file or directory

This seems to be working properly (there's no ImportError), but I
admit I'm not at all familiar with upstream here. :)
