I had to change the equivalent of
$(CURDIR)/debian/python-xyzclient/usr/share/pyshared/xyz/server.py \
to
$(CURDIR)/debian/python-xyzclient/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/server.py
Not sure why, but the pyshared folder isn't created until after a
successful debuild.
Otherwise it worked quite well. Thanks!
Regards
Eddie

Could you provide a simple example for how I should do it?
use override_dh_autoinstall

#!/usr/bin/make -f
override_dh_auto_install:
python setup.py install --install-layout=deb \
--root $(CURDIR)/debian/python-xyzclient
mkdir -p $(CURDIR)/debian/python-xyzserver/usr/share/pyshared/xyz
mv \
$(CURDIR)/debian/python-xyzclient/usr/share/pyshared/xyz/server.py \
$(CURDIR)/debian/python-xyzserver/usr/share/pyshared/xyz/
...
%:
dh $@ --with python2 --buildsystem=python_distutils
-- 8< ---------------------------------------------------------------------
override_dh_autobuild would be too early, sorry for the confusion. You
basically prepare the files for each binary package in a separate
subdirectory of your debian/ directory. Debhelper's dh sequencer takes care
of building the proper binary packages. Be aware that package names like
python-xyzserver and python-xyzclient are not compliant with the Debian
Python policy (they should be named python-<modulename> and you should have
separate modules for client and server to allow this split in a policy
conforming way).
