Ages ago there was a bdist_deb that was in the python bug tracker, long
since that bug tracker has been transitioned to another one, and that
attachment was lost.

Another pythoneer still had it a few years later, and I got it from him.

In an effort to help people create real packages from python software,
rpms and debs, I put together a small program to download source from
pypi and convert it into an OS installable package. This is known to
work on some redhat systems (modulo a problem with the redhat macro
for doing python byte compilation automatically on all packages), and
debian based systems.

You can find the work I did on:

http://pypi.python.org/pypi/packaging

And more importantly, you can find bdist_deb.py here:
