[reportlab-users] debian package and tar distribution: What is the best way to do this?

[pieter claassen]

Does anybody have any tips on packaging a pure python application in a
.deb?

Should this happen:
1. by packaging the python tar file into a very simple .deb where the
postinstall just calls 

python setup.py install

or
2. Doing all the work in with apt?

Lastly, what is the easiest way to keep both a tar file and a debian
repository in sync?

Thanks,
Pieter
