[Python-apps-team] Bug#638720: Odoo packaging

Just to let everybody know that I am no longer working on Odoo packaging.

I'm disappointed in upstream, their bug handling and CLA; Odoo looks promising 
but it is full of bugs and "spaghetti code" issues and its loose dependencies 
(when activation of one module enables dependency modules that make 
irreversible changes to database) feels very fragile. Above all it does not do 
what I need.

I'm leaving packaging in almost finished state -- as per TODO there are only 
few non-DFSG issues left. Also Bootswatch themes are full of "privacy-breach" 
issues and have to be packaged separately anyway.

 Dmitry Smirnov.

The great enemy of the truth is very often not the lie -- deliberate,
contrived and dishonest, but the myth, persistent, persuasive, and
unrealistic. Belief in myths allows the comfort of opinion without the
discomfort of thought.
