Use dh_python2

Quickly should use dh_python2.

Adding python-distutils-extra, since that's what actually creates the skeleton debian/ directory and still requires python-support to my knowledge (which comes from didrocks).

Thanks for the bug report. I am won't fixing the daily-journal task, since daily-journal is as Quickly app, it will get packaged however the quickly commands package it.

Most of this is fixed in python-distutils-extra now:

http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~python-distutils-extra-hackers/python-distutils-extra/debian/revision/274

There are still a few minor things missing:

debian/compat is set to to "8" but the debhelper build dep is still "6"

debhelper overrides are used so the build dep needs at least >= 7.0.50~

There is still a build dep on cdbs even though it's been move to debhelper.

Still uses {XS, XB}-Python-Version.

I'll submit a branch.

Closing upstream p-d-e task, python-mkdebian is not in trunk, only in the packaging.

Merged Andrew's cleanups, thank you!

This bug was fixed in the package python-distutils-extra - 2.32-5

  * debian/local/python-mkdebian cleanups: (LP: #706051)
    - Don't use {XS, XB}-Python-Version.
    - Generate an up to date Standards-Version.
    - Generate build dep on debhelper (>= 8) as debian/compat is set to '8'
      and debhelper overrides are used.
    - No need to generate a build dep on cdbs.

  * debian/local/python-mkdebian: For projects using --prefix, install
    binaries into a .../bin/ subdirectory instead of into the main project
    directory. This avoids potential name collisions with local Python
    modules. Thanks to Michael Terry for the patch!
