Well, maybe it doesn't clean them quite... Here is an excerpt from the
list of files that are created (by python-support) when installing:

It seems like the list of Python-generated files looks different for
the midistream v/s the scenic package.

In midistream.deb:
/usr/lib/scenic/py/rtpmidi
     |____engines/
           |____ __init__.py
           |____ __init__.pyc
           |____ __init__.pyo

In scenic.deb:
├── application.py
├── application.pyc

(there are no .po there)

There is no "2.5" or "2.6" directory, anywhere. The app seems to work
OK, though.

I should import a new original tarball within a few hours. The 0.6.1
upstream release is out.
