[maemo-developers] Debmaster: Help for PyMaemo dependency hell on Fremantle?

[From: Benoît HERVIER]

Hi,

Ok this is clearly a bug of py2deb which didn't include the package number.
I ll fix this tomorrow in the morning.

Best regards,

However, the idea is to offer an option to build a package for people without a linux desktop, so that they can prepare the package parts directly on their device and upload from there (same goes for pypackager). This also offers a quick way to "package" command line hacks (such as the gconf options for the display timeout, aka moreDimmingOptions)
