Bug#408277: pyftpd: installation fails: file does not exist: /usr/share/pyftpd/log_simple_config.py
The problem is that pycentral tries to install the _config.py files, which are symlinks to files in /etc/pyftpd and aren't configured yet (that is, they're suffixed .dpkg-new) pycentral can be called with a special -x option which excludes modules. The exclude pattern could be 'config.py' (since 'config' excludes real files) However this approach didn't work for me (and dh_pycentral doesn't support excluding, for some reason) If you change the direction of the symlinks, however, you can get an installable package. That means you'll get real packages under /usr/share, and symlinks in /etc. I'm not really sure if this is Policy-compliant, but you should also state those files as conffiles. The first approach (excluding the files from dh_pycentral) seemed the right one, so if someone with more experience with Python than me could check it, that'd be great. You'll find attached a brief debdiff. Thanks for your time and work.

It manifested itself only in one case, when I experimented with symlinks in /etc/pyftpd/ and left over the symlinks and reinstalled the package. I have to admit am lost at this point. pycentral can be called with a special -x option which excludes modules.

You'll find attached a brief debdiff. Thanks for your time and work. What if I made pyftpd pre-depend on python-central?
