I have packaged a few pure python programs, feel free to take a look at
them:

 http://therning.org/magnus/computer/apt-repo/
 http://therning.org/magnus_apt/

How is the package built? distutils or a plain makefile?

CDBS is by far the most simple way of packaging, but it is generally a
good idea to first package something using dh_* the first time out, just
to gain some understanding of what is going on.

Software is not manufactured, it is something you write and publish.
Keep Europe free from software patents, we do not want censorship
by patent law on written works.

Mary had a little key (It's all she could export),
and all the email that she sent was opened at the Fort.
