Okay, go for it! Is there a specific tutorial somewhere about making a PPA for
Python? (As opposed to more generalised tutorials - or would they be sufficient?)

I realise that, as well as recording what it's doing, but that part seems to
happen fairly quickly. 

Then it says "Copying files to the temporary directory..." and that part seems
to take forever. The whole deb is under 25MB, what could be taking many minutes?
