I'd like to make a radical suggestion: upstream authors should never have to worry about building distribution blobs.
that you think it is radical is quite saying about the state of affairs in python IMHO :) For me, it is obvious that the upstream author should not have to worry about debian if he is not producing .deb. The problem is just that today, we make it much harder for packagers than it needs to be.
Can I add my 2c... Sometimes it is easier under linux to get an operating system python package (from debian for example) installed than it is to get a pure python package... That seems very wrong to me..... So I am agreeing... What can we do to fix this?
