hi,

you could try cdbs for packaging, which has a rule for python
packaging ;) A minimal debian/rules for setup.py using cdbs
would look like this:

-------------------------------------------------------
#!/usr/bin/make -f
# -*- makefile -*-

DEB_PYTHON_SYSTEM = pysupport

include /usr/share/cdbs/1/rules/debhelper.mk
include /usr/share/cdbs/1/class/python-distutils.mk
-------------------------------------------------------

this will do all the setup.py stuff for you and actually will
be enough, if you don't need any additional parameters.
