[Distutils] stdeb-0.3 error

[Gerry Reno]

Ok, I got the __file__ problem solved but now I want to do this whole 
deb pkg create as just a single command in my own setup.py.  How can I 
do this?

I'm thinking something like:

# my setup.py
import stdeb

Command(mycmd):
    initialize_option...
    finalize_option...
    run
       sub_commands=[('sdist_dsc', None),]
       system('dpgk-source ...)
       print ".deb is here..."

Would this work and is this how to do it?

Regards,
Gerry
