+python-avro for Debian
+----------------------
+
+Avro has several implementations and Apache (upstream) develops all of them
+within the same VCS. Apache distributes tarballs for each language
+implementation as well as a full package containing all of them. In the
+per-language tarballs, python and python3 are separated. This source
+package could have been handled using multi-orig tarballs, but git-buildpackage
+support does not seem up to it. Instead, packaging uses the full source
+tarball and excludes all implementations besides python2 and python3.
+
+Since the python2 and python3 implementations have no common files,
+I call dh twice in debian/rules, which slightly complicates override_dh_*
+recipes.
