I do, although it's offtopic for distutils (sorry).
I'd like to develop a patch which enables the
python-rpm extension to the Debiant rpm package, so I
can forward it to the rpm maintainer.   I have complex
reasons for needing this (well not that complex;
a Debian system happens to be the host for a set
of rpm packages for which I want to enable fetching
via yum.  yum-arch requires the python rpm extension.)

He's had a number of requests for this, but doesn't
know python. Meanwhile, I don't know the debian
packaging system, and my pass at it didn't work out right
at all.

Any takers?
