Binary package hint: gitosis

In started using gitosis in jaunty, and in

~gitosis/repositories/gitosis-admin.git/hooks

which is a fundamental directory (since all gitosis activity is concentrated in what it does when you push a change in configuration), I (automatically) had the link

post-update -> /usr/share/python-support/gitosis/gitosis/templates/admin/hooks/post-update

. Unfortunately, when upgrading to karmic (gitosis 0.2+20080825-15), that file moved to

/usr/share/pyshared/gitosis/templates/admin/hooks/post-update

so the link became stale. This is _very_ unfortunate, since when post-update hook is not run, one can do _nothing_ (in particular I was not able do add a new user), not even enable debug!

As far as I can imagine, this will affect _all_ gitosis users upgrading. The only way I can interpret the fact that this bug has not been filed is that either gitosis is really not much used, or that not many servers have been upgraded to karmic.
