[Python-modules-team] Bug#850098: #850098 subliminal: change of upstream structure

[Carl Suster]

I see that subliminal is currently using the tarballs from PyPI and then 
patching in the source for the nautilus extension which is of course absent 
from there. Also the Github-hosted tarballs include a test suite which is not 
in the PyPI tarballs.

It seems that the upstream nautilus extension has now moved to a different 
dedicated upstream repo:

   https://github.com/Diaoul/nautilus-subliminal

Unfortunately this repository does not seem to have versioned releases, and has 
not seen an update in several months. My thinking is that if we continue to 
provide the nautilus extension at all, it should be built by a new source 
package src:subliminal-nautilus (which could potentially also build the nemo 
extension provided in a different branch of the upstream repo) tracking 
snapshots of the upstream git.

I am happy to work on this as part of packaging the latest upstream release, 
but I just wanted to check before I do so that:

   1) the source split I proposed is sensible (if so I'll probably just drop 
the nautilus extension for now and reopen https://bugs.debian.org/821455 until 
I repackage the extension in its new home), and

   2) if the split is ok, which if either Python packaging team would make a 
good home for the nautilus extension, and

   3) it's ok to change the tarballs to the Github ones and update the d/watch 
accordingly. The point of this would be to be able to run the test suite.

Cheers,
Carl
