BoF agenda and discussion
- python2.5 as the default, new upstream versions/cvs snapshots for packages not yet in unstable/not yet released with support for python2.5)
- packaging eggs (try to come up with guidelines how to package eggs)
- no more code in /var/lib, currently some python code cannot be made read-only, because it's put into /var.
- revisit supported python packages in main
- let the python packages play nice with apt-file and other tools again (currently files are artificially installed in an unique path)
- define and support a layout for python debug packages using the current python debug builds (with refcounting turned on).
