Bug Description

When I executed the 'quickly package' command on a Quickly project I'm working on the package was generated nicely and everything worked.
However, I spotted one problem: the generated Build-Depends line looks like this: "Build-Depends: cdbs (>= 0.4.43), debhelper (>= 6), python, python-support (>= 0.6.4), python-distutils-extra (>= 2.10)".

However; an assertion in setup.py says "assert DistUtilsExtra.auto.__version__ >= '2.18', 'needs DistUtilsExtra.auto >= 2.18'", which means that the minimum version 2.10 for python-distutils-extra as given in the Build-Depends is incorrect, this should be 2.18.

Thats not a bad thing Sense. The lower package version means that you can use it in older versions of Ubuntu. Im pretty sure there isnt any huge regressions in functionality between 2.10 - 2.18.

But shouldn't the version referred to in setup.py be changed to a lower value as well in that case?

Its only a build dependency so it uses it always installs the highest version it can so it doesnt matter what minimum package version is stated in the build depends. It doesnt mean much really and isnt a dependency on the deb.

Thanks for reporting this bug and your interest in Quickly.

In fact, it should be corrected either by bumping down the setup.py in generated project or bumping it in python-distutils-extra when generate it. I don't have strong opinion there (from 2.10 to 2.18, only things for Quickly itself has been developed and small bugfix, but nothing really incompatible TBH). I'll fix it by one way or the other :-)
