[Reportbug-maint] Bug#529660: reportbug: setup.py install should use --install-layout=deb

[Kenneth E Drake]

Package: reportbug
Version: 4.2
Severity: normal

For the future py2.6 transition setup.py install should include '--install-layout=deb' to avoid files ending up in the wrong directory. Currently, files end up in /usr/local when built against py2.6 in ubuntu karmic without this parameter. This parameter is recognized and ignored in py{2.4,2.5}.

In Ubuntu, we've applied the attached patch to achieve the following:

  * Merge with Debian unstable (LP #378591), remaining changes:
    ...
    - debian/rules:
      + Append "--install-layout=deb" to distutils install command.
       This ensures installation to the correct directory with python2.6.
    ...

We thought you might be interested in doing the same.
