indeed, this was a case of some stupid extra rules in debian/rules - I
thought the /usr/share directory was deleted before dh_pysupport did run.
But this still doesn't stop the package from being completely
uninstallable in the case somebody deletes the /usr/share directory
(accidentally), it isn't even reinstallable in such a case. Imho it
should handle such cases more gracefully.


Cheers,

Bernd
