** Description changed:
+ SRU
+ ====
+
+ Impact:
+ The package is completely unusable on Lucid, as the default python version is
2.6, and this package only ships libaries in the 2.5 site-packages.
+
+ Solution:
+ The root cause is that dh_pysupport is never called. This patch calls it
during the build, which results in a Python version-independant package.
+
+ Reproduction Instructions:
+ 1. Install firmware-addon-dell and firmware-tools.
+ 2. Run inventory_firmware
+ 3. Note error: Config Error: Plugin "firmware_addon_dell.dellbios" cannot be
loaded: No module named firmware_addon_dell.dellbios
+
+ Regression potential:
+ None I can see.
+
+ Original Report:
+ ============

It should be using either pycentral or pyshared (or similiar) so that it
can adapt to the system python version (which on Ubuntu 10.04 is Python
2.6).
