Hi Thorsten, thanks for the report. I think this may be due to a strange interaction between svn-buildpackage, which the Debian Python and Zope teams use, uscan's semi-documented d/copyright Files-Excluded header, and weirdness/buggyness in the d/watch file name manging. You'll see in d/copyright that I added a Files-Excluded header to trim the non-free docs/ directory, and in fact, when I watch the output of svn-buildpackage, I can see that the tarball is downloaded and repacked without the docs/ directory. However, if you look closely, you'll find three tar.gz files in the various resulting artifacts. % find . -name \*.gz ./tarballs/python-pyramid_1.5.1.orig.tar.gz ./tarballs/python-pyramid_1.5.1+dfsg.orig.tar.gz ./build-area/python-pyramid_1.5.1+dfsg.orig.tar.gz % tar ztvf tarballs/python-pyramid_1.5.1.orig.tar.gz | grep docs/ | wc -l 0 % tar ztvf tarballs/python-pyramid_1.5.1+dfsg.orig.tar.gz | grep docs/ | wc -l 777 % tar ztvf build-area/python-pyramid_1.5.1+dfsg.orig.tar.gz | grep docs/ | wc -l 777 svn-bp uses the build-area tarball, which is how the docs/ directory sneaked back in. What to do? I suppose it would be best to reject the NEW python-pyramid package, and let me rebuild the binary package after manually shuffling the repacked tar.gz into place. Otherwise, I won't be able to upload a correct tarball until the next upstream release. I have that fixed upload ready to go now. If you have any suggestions on how to fix the d/watch file so this won't be a problem in the future, please do let me know. Otherwise I'll ping the appropriate mailing lists for advice. Cheers, -Barry
