I do not understand. I set

IMAGE_LOGOS = '/mailman/images/'

in mm_cfg.py Then the html returned by http://mydom.ain/mailman/listinfo reads

<table WIDTH="100%" BORDER="0"> <tr> <td><a href="http://www.gnu.org/software/mailman/index.html"><img src="/mailman/images/mailman.jpg" alt="Delivered by Mailman" border="0" /><br>version 2.1.15</a></td> <td><a href="http://www.python.org/"><img src="/mailman/images/PythonPowered.png" alt="Python Powered" border="0" /></a></td> <td><a href="http://www.gnu.org/"><img src="/mailman/images/gnu-head-tiny.jpg" alt="GNU's Not Unix" border="0" /></a></td> <td><a href="http://www.debian.org/"><img src="/images/mailman/debianpowered.png" alt="Debian Powered" border="0" /></a></td> </tr> </table>

at the bottom. Note how the path is different for the last image

/images/mailman/debianpowered.png

instead of /mailman/images/debianpowered.png as is for the other three images. I do not see how packaging can influence the html produced by Mailman's python code.

You don't think packagers ever change the upstream code? If only that were true <sigh...>.

If you download http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/pool/main/m/mailman/mailman_2.1.15-1.debian.tar.gz and extract the files, you will see the patches that Debian applies to their Mailman package.

In particular, look at 01_defaults.debian.patch which patches Defaults.py.in to change the default for IMAGE_LOGOS from '/icons/' to '/doc/mailman/images/'

Then look at 25_site_logo_patch which patches Defaults.py.in to add

# The site logo/text presence, site text, site url and site logo SITE_LINK = Yes SITE_TEXT = 'Debian Powered' SITE_URL = 'http://www.debian.org/' SITE_LOGO = '/images/mailman/debianpowered.png'

All of which don't exist in non-Debian Mailman. This patch further modifies code in htmlformat.py to generate the logos in the footer. This code gets the 3 standard logos from the IMAGE_LOGOS directory and gets the Debian Powered logo from the SITE_LOGO directory.

Thus, the 3 standard logos all come from the directory defined in Defaults.py or overridden in mm_cfg.py by the IMAGE_LOGOS setting.

The 4th (Debian Powered) logo comes from the file defined in Defaults.py or overridden in mm_cfg.py by the SITE_LOGO setting.

In fact, you can turn this off in a Debian installation by setting

SITE_LINK = No

in mm_cfg.py or adjust the text, image and URL with the other 3 settings.

This is a feature of the Debian package. All this *should* be covered in Debian's documentation, but outside of reading Defaults.py, I don't see anything off hand.

If you have an issue with how this is done or documented, you need to take it up with Debian because this is a Debian feature added by Debian and doesn't come from the GNU Mailman project.
