After spending a three hours trying to figure out how to correctly
build a debian package from Python sources, I agree it needs to be a
lot easier.

But scripts allow for continuous integration, which is a very good
thing, as servers build packages and run tests nearly for free.

GUIs require an expensive person to click buttons, which is also not
an interesting task for the person.

If anyone's tempted to go down this route and create a GUI system for
Python distro-packaging, please build in a scriptable/headless option.

All the best,

Chris.
