That could be nice, but have in mind that it is always the Debian developer
who has to decide the correct debian scripts. So, including a debian/
directory in distribution could be a bit of a mess if developer decides to
change something. Maybe Steve can give his opinion on that.

Anyway, if "before Christmas 2002" is a tentative date for releasing scipy
0.2, let's start working right now in debian package to be able to publish
it at the same time than 0.2 announce (testing well the debian package would
consume a few weeks).
