=46rom following discussions on python-dev, I imagine that it might be=20

around metadata and configuration information can get you most of the way t=

making a half-decent package. It might also be informative if Natalia=20
=46rydrych's PyPI to Debian work were covered somehow, because that would=20
potentially make people aware of "packaging portability" and that with only=

little extra consideration, they could have their work conveniently availab=

to an entire community.
