I see that iniparse has entered the Debian repositories
http://packages.debian.org/sid/python-iniparse excellent news.
Unless something strange happens and this work is abandoned by its
maintainer I will be just using the official package and not my own version
from now on. As a result I probably won't be updating the deb packaging I
contributed to the google code project.
The official packaging is likely much better written than mine, and will
certainly get more scrutiny and therefore find any bugs faster. I suggest
pointing people who want a .deb to the Debian repos from the wiki.
