Fabrice,

Here’s an updated .diff.gz that fixes the lintian bugs you mentioned, as well as fixes the watch file. I used a tweaked version from what you specified, as they release -SUMO releases, which are basically the same as the normal releases, except they come with exotic dependencies shipped (which is obviously not necessary in our case).

However, I have not converted the patches to quilt format, because of one showstopper: the whole reason for the source edit is so it fixes a bug in the 'python setup.py clean' command, which causes it to download dependencies that it thinks it needs, but doesn't. Now, because the bug occurs in 'python setup.py clean', and because at the stage where that is called during building, all the quilt patches are unapplied, so the bug occurs. So I think the patch should be still applied even when 'clean'.
