Yes it install only this script for now. I can do it by end. but in thaht case, 
I need to let python build the script from the entry point and then move it out 
of the pybuild directory.

I agree to disagree :). I like a lot the fact than I can see everythings going 
one for a package by opening
only one file. I am more productive this way. Especially when I work on lot's 
of packages. cut en past beetween rules files is a lot easyer.
the multipliction of the .install files seems to me a waste of time :).

les gouts et les couleurs :).

Cheers

Frederic and thanks for your time.

Hello,

I try to update the silx package and I want to replace this call

python3 setup.py install_scripts -d debian/silx/usr/bin

with the right call without setup.py.

thanks for your help

Hi,

A good way to know what needs to be done is to remove the line and then diff 
the result:

==
foo@bar:/tmp$ debdiff silx_1.1.2+dfsg-1_amd64.changes 
silx_1.1.2+dfsg-2_amd64.changes
[The following lists of changes regard files as different if they have
different names, permissions or owners.]

Files in first .changes but not in second

It seems the only thing this line does is to install /usr/bin/silx. This can be 
done 'manually' via
dh_install (see man dh_install).

I personally tend to prefer having a file like 'debian/python3-silx.install' 
instead of having a
'dh_install' line in 'debian/rules', as it yields a 'cleaner' d/rules file.

Cheers,
