Hello, I've applied the changes from the proposed NMU to the Ubuntu package of gnue-common. I needed also a small patch to setupext/install_data.py to make python 2.5 happy (it complained about non-ascii chars inside the file). I applied the patch inline as otherwise the patch gets de-applied before this file is used in the clean target.
