Bug#918858: python-meep-*: fails to install: Exception: cannot get content of python-meep

[Thorsten Alteholz]

Thanks a lot for the reference to $DPKG_MAINTSCRIPT_PACKAGE, an updated 
package is on its way ...

Followup-For: Bug #918858

Looking at the maintainer scripts, they all seem to have been copied
from the python-meep package without updating the referenced package
name from "python-meep" to "python-meep-?"

Instead of hardcoding the package name, you could also use
"$DPKG_MAINTSCRIPT_PACKAGE" which is set by dpkg when running maintainer
scripts.

Package: 
python-meep-openmpi,python-meep-mpich2,python-meep-mpi-default,python-meep-lam4
Version: 1.7.0-2
Severity: serious
User: debian...@lists.debian.org
Usertags: piuparts

Hi,

during a test with piuparts I noticed your package failed to install. As
per definition of the release team this makes the package too buggy for
a release, thus the severity.
