[Debian-med-packaging] Bug#516766: insighttoolkit: generates incorrect package with python-support from experimental

[Josselin Mouette]

Package: insighttoolkit
Version: 3.10.1-1

Hi,

the insighttoolkit rules file contains the following:
PYMODDIR = usr/share/python-support/$(pkg_python)
PYEXTDIR = usr/lib/python-support/$(pkg_python)/$(PYVERS)
...
install/$(pkg_python)::
        dh_install -p$(pkg_python) -XlibSwig debian/tmp/usr/lib/InsightToolkit/*Python.so* $(PYEXTDIR)
        dh_install -p$(pkg_python) debian/tmp/usr/lib/InsightToolkit/libSwigRuntimePython.so* usr/lib
        dh_install -p$(pkg_python) debian/tmp/usr/lib/InsightToolkit/python/* $(PYMODDIR)
        dh_install -p$(pkg_python) debian/tmp/usr/lib/InsightToolkit/*.py   $(PYMODDIR)
        dh_pysupport -p$(pkg_python)

With the upcoming version of python-support (currently in experimental),
the files installed in /usr/lib/python-support are ignored and the built
package is, as such, broken. 

You should install these packages to a standard place instead of adding
all this complexity. Then, dh_pysupport will pick them and do whatever
is fit.

As a general rule, please avoid relying on the internals of
python-support in the packaging unless necessary; this will avoid such
issues in the future (although hopefully there won’t be a need to change
the paths any further).

Thanks,
