Zynjacku is installing the scripts with .py extension plus a symlink
without it. The package should only install the script without the
extension (eg, lv2rack.py should be named lvrack). I've just commited a
fix for that.

I'm not sure what can be done for this. Flex is generating those exit
calls. You may want to talk to upstream about this.

The lintian warning here is because those python files are executable
but do not start with a shebang line. However, this indicates another
problem, this package ships a python module but it is not compatible
with the python policy. You need to use python-central or
python-support. Moreover, you are shipping .la files in the python dir,
which is not necessary either. You have to use python-support or
python-central (apparently python-support is better). I'm no python
expert, however.


BTW, the git repository is broken. The upstream/5 tag does not point to
the latest upstream version, but to the merge of it with the master
branch! I think it should be retagged. Did you use git-import-orig to
import the source?
