[Python-modules-team] Bug#525563: please package new upstream release (2.0)

[Mark Eichin]

Looks like it's enough to 

$ git clone git://gitorious.org/python-markdown/mainline.git
$ cd mainline
$ svn co svn://svn.debian.org/python-modules/packages/python-markdown/trunk/debian

Bump the version (debian/changelog diff) and tweak the rules file:

and the resulting package builds and is useful.  This isn't enough, of
course:
  * debian/watch is wrong, they're not using sourceforge anymore
  * "pyversions: missing XS-Python-Version in control file, fall back
     to debian/pyversions"
  * I don't know if the changelog choice above is *right*
  * "dh_python: Doing nothing since dh_pycompat exists; dh_pysupport
     or dh_pycentral should do the work. You can remove dh_python from
     your rules file."  (except that with cdbs, it's not *in* the
     rules file...)
  * "warning, `debian/python-markdown/DEBIAN/control' contains
     user-defined field `Python-Version'"

(Not volunteering to co-maintain, I'm not responsive enough on my
 *own* packages, but I'm now using it enough to chip in from time to
 time :-)
