packaging issues

Hi,

I have created Debian packages, and they are currently waiting in the
new package queue to be installed into the archive.  However, there are
a few issues which if fixed would make my life easier as a packager.

One of the first I noticed was pyblosxom has a module named 'libs'. This
is a pretty generic name.  I was originally going to put the pyblosxom
libs/* files in /usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/, but that would have
intruded on the namespace too much, I think.  Could we rename 'libs' to
'pyblosxom'?  That way other packages can more easily use the classes
without having to futz with their sys.path.

Secondly, it would be cool if the default pyblosxom.cgi looked for an
/etc/pyblosxom/config.py by default.  

Now, the hairiest issue is plugins.  I'm not even sure where to put
them.  Probably something like /usr/lib/pyblosxom/plugins.  Now, what I
am thinking of is a setup like Apache2, which uses symlinks to
enable/disable plugins (modules).  For example, we'd have:

/usr/lib/pyblosxom/plugins-available/conditionalhttp.py
And then to enable it, the user would do:
cd /usr/lib/pyblosxom/plugins-enabled && ln -s ../plugins-available/conditionalhttp.py .

Or alternatively, a user would have to explicitly enable plugins in
their config.py.  I like the former more though.

One very minor issue; currently as far as I can tell there is no COPYING
or LICENSE file included in the source.  The closest I could find was an
__license__ = "Python".  It would be nice if the full text of the Python
license was included in the pyblosxom distribution (and probably would
be better from a legalistic standpoint too).

Finally, I just want to say thanks for pyblosxom, it was an easy drop-in
replacement for blosxom.
