I think the problem is that the package installs in /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/PyPlucker/ but pycentral moves to /usr/share/pycentral/plucker/site-packages/PyPlucker/ adding symlinks in /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/PyPlucker/.
When upgrading, these symlinks are removed (by pycentral!? by dpkg!?) so that installation fails since pycentral cannot bytecompile the sources.
Simply adding export DH_PYCENTRAL=nomove to debian/rules solves this, but I wonder if it is just a workaround around a deeper problem with pycentral?
I have a package ready for upload to intrepid (and will make an sru to hardy if accepted) but I would like to have mvo/doko opinion on this?
