Bug Description

Right now python-nautilus creates the folder according to the 2.0 api for nautilus extensions:
/usr/lib/nautilus/extensions-2.0/python

but nautilus loads python extensions from the deprecated 1.0 api location:
/usr/lib/nautilus/extensions-1.0/python

This is inconsistent and causes the following problems:
- any extension in /usr/lib/nautilus/extensions-2.0/python is ignored
- incompatible scripts (based on the 1.0 api) might be loaded from /usr/lib/nautilus/extensions-1.0/python

A patch is needed which makes sure nautilus loads from the 2.0 folder.

I hardcoded the changes for hardy because doing it via pkg-config would be more invasive. I'll report this to upstream with a better method of fixing soon.

If you decide to fix this bug for Hardy, please do it as quickly as possible so I can quickly file a patch for the package phatch in Hardy. Otherwise nautilus support for Phatch will be broken in Hardy.

This is a bug for the phatch package in Hardy. I made the patch as minimal as possible. A better solution would be to include python-nautilus in build-depends and retrieve the directory with pkg-config, but as Kjell said that would be too invasive. Please upload this patch as python-nautilus has been patched as well.
