[Bug 504884] Re: Please update wxbanker to 0.6.1.0

[Michael Rooney]

Ah yes, the downstream packaging has a compat and pycompat which my
upstream packaging didn't. Either I somehow lost them or perhaps whoever
uploaded 0.5 silently fixed that for me. I've added the compat and
pycompat back so it now has the same files as the 0.5 packaging. Is this
correct?

I've also removed the postinst/postrm scripts; I can understand how
these are not acceptable in packages in the Ubuntu archive. They are
hitting a hook that counts installs including version and distro
version. It is really useful information when I push them to PPAs since
until bug #139855 is implemented, I otherwise have no way to know which
distros and versions are the most popular, to ensure compatibility with.
Without this data I'm programming in the dark; I don't know how
important it is to maintain compatibility with dependency/distro
versions as I don't know if 5% or 95% of users are using Jaunty for
example. But, this is really most useful for PPAs and using popcon is
indeed mostly good enough for the version shipped in a distro (alas, I
lose the distro version information and accurate removal counts). I've
updated my script which generates the .diff.gz to remove these so they
won't appear in this or future uploaded versions!

Thanks again for your help, time, and review; how does it look now?
