Hi,
While working on the "reproducible builds" effort [0], we have noticed
that cloudprint could not be built reproducibly as it ships pyc files
instead of using an install-time helper to compile them.
This is additonally against Policy 3.7 [1].
The attached patch removes these files from the build system, but there
is really no obvious reason not to switch to dh-python, etc. If there
is, please document it in debian/rules or debian/README.Source.
Once applied, cloudprint can be built reproducibly in our reproducible
toolchain.
