For readers who are interested in a more neutral point of view, I invite
them to read the archives of debian-python during the month of june:
http://lists.debian.org/debian-python/2006/06/threads.html
And in particular this message where Joss decides alone to throw away the
small agreed-upon bits that we had without any discussion:
http://lists.debian.org/debian-python/2006/06/msg00210.html
As far as RC bug are concerned, the code of dh_python still lives in
dh_pycentral and works well there. The main reason why it has been thrown
away is because Joey Hess didn't want to keep dh_python and hasn't
expressed that soon enough in the process. And Joey didn't participate
because the discussion with Josselin and Matthias have been needlessly
hostile and difficult.
That was my last message in this (unconstructive) sub-thread.
Cheers,
