As a side-note, in the Python world it seems that more people started
using the Python Package Index (http://pypi.python.org/pypi) and
install a package easily using "easy_install". This doesn't have the
.deb features but it is more universal across various Linux
distributions (the bad thing, it doesn't seem to allow uninstalling).
At some point I might create a pypi entry (shouldn't take long but
I've been too busy with other things).
