[Bug 390475] Re: python-hulahop package doesn't include modules for python 2.6

[lkcl]

fixing this would be a good idea.  perhaps by having a version of python
that's common between releases [which is the underlying serious mistake
made that's causing this and other problems]

pyjamas-desktop relies on python-hulahop - http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-
bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=501774 - and it ain't going in to ubuntu properly
until this is fixed.

Bug description:
Binary package hint: python-hulahop

The current binary package for python-hulahop in Jaunty (amd64) does not include bindings for Python 2.6;  only Python 2.4 and Python 2.5 bindings are present.

The package version is python-hulahop_0.4.8~dfsg-3ubuntu4_amd64.

Building from the source package ('apt-get source python-hulahop' followed by 'debuild') produces a working module for 2.6, but this gets installed to the wrong directory (/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages instead of /usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages).  Rebuilding the configure script (using 'autoreconf') prior to running debuild produces a package that installs to the correct location.  (This is because the pre-generated configure script in the source tarball was built before LP #377584 was resolved, and so the AM_PATH_PYTHON macro was incorrectly returning the site-packages directory instead of dist-packages.)
