Hi
maybe this is not exactly a bug, but I just want to know if there is
some reasoning for current preference of Makefile > setup.py > Build.PL.
The problem is that some Python modules come with simple Makefile, which
allows some basic functionality, but does not necesarry all things which
could be done through setup.py. In this case dh_auto_* blindly chooses
to use this Makefile instead of setup.py.
Have you considered having different preference of build systems to try?
