Ok, that sounds reasonable.
Unfortunately I can't seem to apt-get source it:
2011-11-05 23:21 [root@vincent ~]# apt-get source python-hesiod
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
E: Ignore unavailable version '0.2.10-1debathena2~debian6.0~0.2' of package
'python-hesiod'
E: Unable to find a source package for python-hesiod
Any help?
