Yes, I did try to comprehend the NMG, but didn't ask for anyones help. But AFAIR, back then (mid 2015), the python specific parts of the packaging manuals were scattered between some presentations and loose documentation here and there. Thanks for the link though. I might get back to it.
Still, I believe that a robust system like debian could be achieved by more simpler means. It's packaging system is an invention of a different era and needs more streamlining to accommodate dynamic language developers. Python was invented in 90's and it's took 20+ years for debian to setup some serious guidelines for python developers. What if I want to package a software written in another dynamic language which was invented a month ago? These questions need to be addressed.
Disclaimer: I am not claiming that I could device a solution. Just that, despite my best intentions and best of efforts, I couldn't handle the difficulty of packaging.
