Bug#801902: python-pysph: ships /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/site.py

Package: python-pysph
Version: 0~20150606.gitfa26de9-5
Severity: serious

Hi,

during a test with piuparts I noticed your package failed to install
because it tries to overwrite other packages files:

  Selecting previously unselected package python-pysph.
  Preparing to unpack .../python-pysph_0~20150606.gitfa26de9-5+b1_amd64.deb ...
  Unpacking python-pysph (0~20150606.gitfa26de9-5+b1) ...
  dpkg: error processing archive /var/cache/apt/archives/python-pysph_0~20150606.gitfa26de9-5+b1_amd64.deb (--unpack):
   trying to overwrite '/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/site.py', which is also in package python-wxglade 0.7.1~rc1-1
  Processing triggers for libc-bin (2.19-22) ...
  Errors were encountered while processing:
   /var/cache/apt/archives/python-pysph_0~20150606.gitfa26de9-5+b1_amd64.deb

site.py sounds like a very generic name and probably should not be
shipped by any package.
