python-wxaddons package

Hi all,

Task Coach uses the python-wxaddons package for SizedControls. I'm
building several distributions that people can use on Linux. RPM via
the bdist_rpm setup target and next a deb file using the 'alien'
command:

lindist: icons changes i18n
       $(PYTHON) make.py bdist_rpm --requires "python>=2.4,python-wxgtk>=2.8.3,
python-wxaddons" --group "Applications/Productivity"
       export EMAIL="frank@niessink.com"
       cd dist; sudo alien --keep-version *.noarch.rpm; cd ..

However, despite the python-wxaddons package being listed as
requirement I get people complaining that Task Coach doesn't work and
from the traceback I see that they don't have python-wxaddons
installed. I would think that listing it as required would get people
some error message if they don't have it? Also, if I want to point
people to instructions about obtaining python-wxaddons, where should I
point them? AFAICT the website at http://wxaddons.wxcommunity.com only
has information for developers of addons, but not for programmers just
using an addon or for endusers.

Do the RPM dependencies get carried over to the .deb?
