it seems that this is actually a bug in dh: It seems to call setup.py
twice, once for each version of python, including adjusting the shebang
line. Then, as the the python version tried last ist 2.4, this modified
script is shipped with the package.

I’m not sure what to do differently, thus I’m CC’ing Joey: Is there
something wrong with the way we package zhone (a python script, not a
library)?

Greetings and Thanks,
Joachim
