Note that the LSG does link to the policy page and even says: "It is not intended to supplant the Debian Python Policy and in fact, if you have not read that document, stop now and go read it.” and goes on: "Instead, this page captures in example form, best practices for simple Python libraries that you might find on the Python Package Index.” Maybe packages containing extensions are simple enough to include on this page. It’s a wiki so, 1) it’s a living document; 2) contributions welcome! :) -Barry
