Éric, sorry about missing that accent.  /me needs a bigger font. :)

RE: python-debian modernization.  We'd have to check with the authors to see what version of Python they need to remain compatible with.  If it's 2.6, then I'm all for modernizing.

I'm not a huge fan of shelling out to get the debian directory, but dh_make seems to be what people want to emulate.  I was planning on using python-debian to fill out e.g. debian/control with information that dh_make couldn't easily be convinced to create.
