[lkcl]

question for the ubuntu maintainers: how are you getting on with the
simple task of running autoreconf in the build of hulahop?

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.)
