Well, I have been doing the package for flickrapi.
As Tak said, the .pyo files can't be there. As you will see these files
are created every time you run dpkg-buildpackage. 
This is because setup.py has the following line: 
from flickrapi import __version__

.pyo files are created every time that flickrapi is imported. 
The easiest way to solve this is to change that line by simply:
__version__ ='0.15'

That way you won't have problems creating the package.

Cheers.
