Bug Description

Binary package hint: cdbs

The changes made to "fix" bug 374892 are, I feel, incorrect.

Most notably, they involve changing the default installation root from debian/tmp/ to debian/binarypackagename/ - a change which almost certainly breaks any package that was using that default, since whatever logic they used to install files from debian/tmp/ into their actual final location.

I think the proper fix is to revert the changes of the previous cdbs upload and instead fix the Ubuntu-specific added dist-packages->site-packages logic to use the same paths as passed to the setup.py --root options.

bzr branch to follow....

  * 1/class/python-distutils.mk.in:
    - Undo erroneous change to --root in 0.4.56ubuntu4, and fix logic for
      moving files from dist-packages to site-packages instead.
