Initial Comment:
summary: building the source package for gdal_1.9.0-3

me at it:/tmp/gdal$ dget --build http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/pool/main/g/gdal/gdal_1.9.0-3.dsc

fails at end with

> error: could not create '/usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/osgeo': Permission denied
...
> error: could not create '/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/osgeo': Permission denied
...
> dpkg-buildpackage: error: debian/rules build gave error exit status 2

unless I patch gdal-1.9.0/swig/python/GNUmakefile

me at it:/tmp/gdal$ diff -wB /tmp/gdal/gdal-1.9.0/swig/python/GNUmakefile.0 /tmp/gdal/gdal-1.9.0/swig/python/GNUmakefile

< 	$(PYTHON) setup.py install

> 	sudo $(PYTHON) setup.py install

For details of problem, see

Fix is to allow `dget` to download the sources, then (while `dpkg-buildpackage` is running) do

me at it:/tmp/gdal$ cp ./gdal-1.9.0/swig/python/GNUmakefile ./gdal-1.9.0/swig/python/GNUmakefile.0
me at it:/tmp/gdal$ chmod a-w ./gdal-1.9.0/swig/python/GNUmakefile.0
# then edit ./gdal-1.9.0/swig/python/GNUmakefile such that
me at it:/tmp/gdal$ diff -wB ./gdal-1.9.0/swig/python/GNUmakefile.0 ./gdal-1.9.0/swig/python/GNUmakefile
