Comment 5 for bug 253245

Hi,

would you like to point me to the discussion on pyqt@riverbank ml? I'm subscribed to it, but I really don't find it in my mail spool (could be me).

The reason (I'm not the packager just a pyqt/pykde app dev and universe pkg dude) why it is in python-qt4-dev :

IMHO it follows the debian policy for development files. Normally you don't need this module for any application development with pyqt...this module is only needed for the build system of pyqt4 in general.
Which means, a normal app developer with pyqt4+pykde4 will never import this module, without a reason.

And for this, it's laying in the -dev package, and imho this is good.

What we can discuss is an idea of Scott Kitterman yesterday on IRC, that we push a "dummy" module to python-qt4 package, which tells: "if you need this module, please apt-get install python-qt4-dev"...

But in general, the location of this module follows debian policy.
