Jari, Your python-based packages listed below all collide with each other and python2-setuptools by shipping parts of the latter. They also bundle other python libraries instead of shipping them separately. * pylint: bundles astroid (the successor to logilab-astng) * python-logilab-common * python-logilab-astng (obsolete) * python-paramiko: bundles ecdsa * spambayes: bundles lockfile, pydns Furthermore, the non-program modules should be built for both python2 and python3; cygport's python-wheel will do this for you. The programs should use whichever of python{2,3}-distutils for the Python version they require. -- Yaakov
