I use stdeb to build .deb's from Python source distributions. I'm not entirely sure what buildout does, but after letting this screencast play in the background while I work: http://rhodesmill.org/brandon/buildout , I think that I'm accomplishing the same goal using setuptools "develop" command with a "--prefix=" option. I just tested the new stdeb 0.2.3 at the request of Andrew Straw, and it was able to produce a .deb from the allmydata-tahoe source tree. I intend to configure some buildbots to automatically run stdeb to produce .deb's of various of my projects: zfec, pycryptopp, pyutil, etc. Regards, Zooko
