I completely agree, this sounds reasonable. (I don't have the slightest
clue about python packaging, so handing this over to those tools might
be a good idea).

Are we violating the policy? I must admit I haven't read the
python-policy.

As far as I can tell, it's working, lintian isn't complaining, it has
the right build- and runtime-dependencies and it probably has the right
paths, too, though I'm not entirely sure about the last one.


If you feel we need to change something, please do so. It would take me
ten times longer to sort out all the nuances imposed by the policy I
haven't read, time that's better spent on actually coding something
useful. ;) (e.g. the FFADO-FTBFS-gcc-4.5, which I fixed this afternoon.
I'm pushing this upstream and then update to a new svn version
afterwards)
