Hello, I cant seem to build scikits-image from source using debuild.

Here are the steps i followed: a)I checkout master and debian branches in seprate directories. b) export master branch as a tar ball c) run dh_make (a debian specific packaging helper script) d) copy the contents of the debian directory to the directory in which i ran dh_make e) run debbuild

I suggest you to install python-stdeb (on recent ubuntu/debian systems) then simply use the setup.py: python setup.py --command-packages=stdeb.command bdist_deb to create a debian package. Most of the case it works out of the box (I just tested on scikits-git and it is OK). Cheers -- Jerome Kieffer <google@terre-adelie.org>
