Dear Sandro, First of all, I apologize for the delay in replying -- yesterday was already late night here and I also had to fight (???) a "kernel panic" in my Linux box the cause of which is not yet clear (I also had it under Ubuntu Hardy and now it appeared in Intrepid -- under Hardy, I substituted my only RAM chip and the problem disappeared, but now I think the problem may be related to overheating -- it is the hottest tropical summer here down under!).
Well, after following the steps you provided for creating the Debian package for MPL, and installing all required dependencies, I still could not create the package -- the reason is that the program keeps complaining about an older version of python-sphinx, even if I upgraded to the latest version it using easy_install... Maybe I will have to build sphinx from souce too?
