OK. So, it's a potential issue because it hardcodes version numbers, what about natty, for example? That is only because the version of python in hardy doesn't support --install-layout. I'd drop it from here, yes.

That would be another issue I missed :) (I never actually got as far as building it, only reading the debdiff). Please use a python helper like python-support. It's correct to not have .pyc files in the deb.

Yes. You never touch user's home directories from maintainer scripts. And never assume that they'll be /home/$username

That would be good, yes please.
