In private email, Phillip Eby suggested to add these things to the 2.5. standard library:
bdist_deb, bdist_msi, and friends
He explained them as follows:
""" bdist_deb makes .deb files (packages for Debian-based Linux distros, like Ubuntu). bdist_msi makes .msi installers for Windows (it's by Martin v. Loewis). Marc Lemburg proposed on the distutils-sig that these and various other implemented bdist_* formats (other than bdist_egg) be included in the next Python release, and there was no opposition there that I recall. """
I guess bdist_egg should also be added if we support setuptools (not setuplib as I mistakenly called it previously)? (I'm still a bit unclear on the various concepts here, not having made a distribution of anything in a very long time...)
