I said that there is this Debian bug, Barry said that this was a bug in Debian itself, for not compiling all mailman source code, Matthias said that this doesn't apply to mmcfg.py (i.e. Debian can't ship a precompiled mmcfg.py), you asked what the problem is, I said that generating mmcfg.pyc is the problem.

Sorry, I still don't understand why shipping an mm_cfg.pyc (that's ignored because mm_cfg.py is newer) is a problem. Or is Debian shipping only .pyc files?
