Re: how to properly split up into python3-foo and foo-util package?

Dear Christoph,

I'm sure I can not help you but I'm asking because I want to learn.

Do you have a link to your repository?

What do you mean by the terms "simple Python package" and "two 
packages"? These terms do not exists in Python context. Python do 
differentiate between "Distribution Package" (the name you would find 
e.g. on PyPI) and "Import Packages" (the name you use with your "import" 
statement). And there is also a difference with "Debian Package" (a 
deb-file). Of course all three type of packages can be the same but 
don't have to.

I assume that "foo" is the "Distribution Package" ?

I don't understand why there are two packages? Why two? I can not find 
that in your setup.

You build two Debian packages (deb-files) out of one source tarball?
Interesting to know that this is possible.

It would be great if you could upload your "foo" repository somewhere 
when it works as an example.
