I've set up a branch where I fixed all of the above as well as set the package up to use python-support so that it properly follows Debian Python Policy (http://wiki.debian.org/DebianPython/NewPolicy).

Attached are a successful build log and a diff.gz for the proposed package. I have successfully upgraded from the current Ubuntu version with this package. The upstream migration code works as expected, all my library information was intact.

Here is the merge proposal for merging my branch into lp:~exaile-packagers/exaile/ubuntu:

The one real issue left is with the exaile-plugin-moodbar package. It Depends on moodbar, which while still in Debian was removed (incorrectly perhaps?) from Ubuntu. See Bug #316262 and Bug #388915. It might be too late for this in Karmic, though I'll try to get it readded if we get this uploaded.

I'd certainly be willing to take over "maintainership" of Exaile in Ubuntu. I'll attempt to contact the Debian Maintainer about his intentions. If he's no longer interested (as it seems might be the case), I'd also be interested in adopting the package there as well.

(PS: My message to xubuntu-devel still seems to be awaiting moderation. Steve, you might want to poke Cody to give a ruling on the Freeze Exception with his Xubuntu MOTU-Release delegate hat on.)
