Bug#576012: lintian: warn on files in /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/ et al.

[Jakub Wilk]

Package: lintian
Version: 2.3.4
Severity: wishlist


- /usr/lib/pythonX.Y/dist-packages/ for X.Y << 2.6.



Similarily, there should a warning if a package ship files in:
- /usr/lib/debug/usr/lib/pythonX.Y/site-packages/ for X.Y >= 2.6;
- /usr/lib/debug/usr/lib/pythonX.Y/dist-packages/ for X.Y << 2.6.

In Python 2.6 the default module path has been changed from /usr/lib/pythonX.Y/site-packages/ to .../dist-packages/. There shoulde be a lintian error if a binary package ships files in: - /usr/lib/pythonX.Y/site-packages/ for X.Y >= 2.6; (In fact, python2.6-minimal effectively conflicts with packages shipping /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/; see bug #568010 for example.)
