I've tested all 3 of my debdiffs; they all work, although the first one has some issues with installing into site-packages instead of dist-packages - I've noticed that, while running the actual gitosis scripts works, `python -m gitosis` does not.

The reason I can't do s/site-packages/dist-packages/ and s/python2.5/python2.6/ is because of the bug I linked (bug #362570). Doing `python setup.py install --prefix=blah` with Python 2.6, it installs into /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages instead of dist-packages, which makes everything unhappy. I wouldn't have expected that to matter once python-support gets into the picture (since it moves the modules out of /usr/lib and into /usr/share/python-support/$PACKAGE), but I'll admit that I'm not entirely clear on how pysupport works.

But both http://launchpadlibrarian.net/30697473/gitosis_0.2%2B20080825-2ubuntu0.1.debdiff and http://launchpadlibrarian.net/30699699/gitosis_0.2%2B20080825-2ubuntu0.1.debdiff definitely work. I would be fine with either being uploaded.
