Bug Description

Under blueprint https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/server-lucid-aws-client-libraries we want to have txAWS packaged.

txAWS:
Twisted-based Asynchronous Libraries for Amazon Web Services and Eucalyptus private clouds

This project's goal is to have a complete Twisted API representing the spectrum of Amazon's web services as well as support for Eucalyptus clouds.

Here a some comments:

* The source package should be name txaws since this is the upstream name. The binary package should be name python-txaws as required by the Debian python policy.

* There should be only one entry in the debian/changelog file.

* Missing man pages for all commands in /usr/bin/.

* aws-status is a gui application. It should be package a separate binary package with proper dependencies on relevant python modules (example python gtk).

* Don't put the VCS-* header in the control file since these are used to point to the *packaging* branch not the upstream branch.

* Bump the standard version to 3.8.4.

* Only build depend on python instead of python-dev since the software is pure python.

I've tested the branch on Lucid and it works for me. +1 for merge to lp:txaws.

 * debian/control: Maintainer should be Ubuntu Developers <email address hidden>
Otherwise looks good :)

@Duncan: I'm not sure it's good to include the debian/ directory in your "upstream" branch, since we generally keep them separate (as this is not a native Debian package).
