Bug#788132: python3-pep8 ships a different version of pep8.py in comparison with pep8 package

[Felipe Reyes]

After analyzing a bit more what was going on with this issue, I could
find the root cause, the file pep8_1.5.7-2.diff.gz is adding
build/lib/pep8.py from an old version and for some reason python3 is
using it over the pep8.py module that is in the top source directory.
It should be a left over of some previous build and it has been being
carried.

Here I'm attaching a debdiff that fixes the bug. Here it's the output
of my console after I installed this new version:

Bug#788132: python3-pep8 ships a different version of pep8.py in comparison with pep8 package

[Felipe Reyes]

Package: python3-pep8
Version: 1.5.7-2
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

I was investigating a pep8 related problem in Ubuntu[0], after
some triaging I found that python3-pep8 package comes with a very
different version of pep8.py than the one provided in pep8
package.

I rebuilt the package and this problem is reproducible, but
checking debian/rules I couldn't find what could be producing
this strange behaviour.

Here is the output of my terminal:

root@debian-sid:~# dpkg -l python3-pep8 pep8
Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold
| Status=Not/Inst/Conf-files/Unpacked/halF-conf/Half-inst/trig-aWait/Trig-pend
