By relying on the existence of only Python library directories installed
already during the package build; and using shell globs to match the
directory.
===== debian/python-coverage.links:
usr/share/python-coverage/htmlfiles
usr/lib/python2.[1-7]/dist-packages/coverage/htmlfiles
=====
For Python 3, only the major version features in the directory name, so
that can be hard-coded:
===== debian/python3-coverage.links
usr/share/python3-coverage/htmlfiles
usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/coverage/htmlfiles
=====
All of this is based on assumptions about how Distutils and the
Debhelper tools will behave, and is a hack I would like to be rid of. If
there's a better way to achieve what I'm looking for, I'd love to know
it.
