[Distutils] Generating two Debian packages with stdeb

[Edward Ekelund]

I had to change the equivalent of
$(CURDIR)/debian/python-xyzclient/usr/share/pyshared/xyz/server.py \
to
$(CURDIR)/debian/python-xyzclient/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/server.py

Not sure why, but the pyshared folder isn't created until after a 
successful debuild.

Otherwise it worked quite well. Thanks!


Regards
Eddie
