Bug#579379: Comments regarding pyimport-relative_0.1.0-1_amd64.changes



This is relative to pyimport-relative package, currently in NEW. These
are considerations taken with Debian maintainer, and before going any
further, I'd like to share some thoughts with Debian Python maintainers.

Personally, I think it's better asking pydbgr upstream to see if there's
chance to adjust code to use relative imports provided by python2.5,
unless implementation is way too different to be impossible to do otherwise.

Thoughts?
