I suggest taking a look at the [Ubuntu package][0], or, if you can read the messy Debian package creation stuff,
Yeah, I agree it sucks.
[the messy Debian package creation stuff][1]. In a nutshell: /usr/bin/zeya = zeya.py file, everything else in /usr/share/zeya. Mind you, this is NOT the Pythonic way of doing that, and the maintainer is an idiot. A regular python package would use /usr/lib/pythonX.Y/site-packages/zeya/, containing all the .py files, and /usr/bin/zeya, which just imports the python module and runs it.
I'm not a Python coder so this is good to know, thanks.
I suggest telling the maintainer to do it right, including a setup.py file. This idiot uses Launchpad and self-hosted stuff, so it’s nothing weird that it sucks so bad.
Well, once I have a quality PKGBUILD I will try to contact him and tell him about his packaging errors. If you don't mind, I'll try a nicer approach, lol ;)
