Bug Description

We need to split the smart packages released in our repository in the same way they were split in intrepid, to allow for future upgrades to be possible: there needs to be python-smartpm which owns all the library, and smartpm-core which contains the "public" executable.

Attached branch ready for review.

You may find it useful to use the 'autoppa-switch' command to test this, which is not yet in autoppa-trunk, but in lp:~radix/autoppa/autoppa-switch.

It doesn't build on dapper:

(...)
dh_md5sums
dh_builddeb
dpkg-deb: parse error, in file `debian/smartpm/DEBIAN/control' near line 6 package `smartpm':
 `Depends' field, reference to `smartpm-core': error in version: version string is empty
dh_builddeb: command returned error code 512
make: *** [binary-arch] Error 1

Perhaps dapper doesn't support ${binary:Version}:
Depends: ${python:Depends}, ${shlibs:Depends}, smartpm-core (= ${binary:Version}), python-gtk2

Ok, I've made it so dapper still uses Source-Version; ScottK told me that dapper is the last version before the switch to binary:Version.

It looks cool, even though it feels that actual reviewing is much less effective than functional testing them. I've only gone as far as building the new packages for intrepid and having a look at the results. It would be good to try upgrading some old distribution to the new packages to see how it goes. +1!

I'll go on and give a +1 here. It seems to work fine. Just one comment:

[1] Can you regenerate the debian/control file with autoppa, for intrepid?

Thanks!
