First of all, can you check that the package does not build in debian? In Ubuntu it doesn't: http://launchpadlibrarian.net/50119957/buildlog_ubuntu-maverick-i386.creoleparser_0.7.2-3_FAILEDTOBUILD.txt.gz
and I think that provided that testing uses the same python package, it won't build, but I can be wrong, and right now I cannot download a debian pbuilder image to test. I mean, maybe this is just an ubuntu issue, but I think it isn't. About the patch, I think there is no previously generated files, and as far as it is arch:all, the lib should be build/lib and not build/lib-$ARCH. Anyway the current build outputs: creating build creating build/lib.linux-i686-2.6 creating build/lib.linux-i686-2.6/creoleparser copying creoleparser/core.py -> build/lib.linux-i686-2.6/creoleparser copying creoleparser/dialects.py -> build/lib.linux-i686-2.6/creoleparser copying creoleparser/__init__.py -> build/lib.linux-i686-2.6/creoleparser copying creoleparser/elements.py -> build/lib.linux-i686-2.6/creoleparser as you can see, python setup function does not create build/lib, so there should not be any overwriting. If you think it is better to maintain the build/lib.$ARCH structure, then, in debian/rules: PYTHONPATH=$(CURDIR)/build/lib $$py $(CURDIR)/build/lib/creoleparser/__init__.py; \ should be changed to $(CURDIR)/build/lib.$PLAT where $PLAT is the output of distutils.util.get_platform(), but I'd rather the --build-lib=build/lib solution. I have tested that package build with the patch is equal to python-creoleparser_0.7.2-3_all.deb Anyway I do not use python very much, so I can be wrong.
