Hi Todd,

I just found that:

- condor_8.8.2-465890-deb8_amd64.deb contains two .so files in below /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages
- the src package (8.8.2-1, in 8.8/stretch) doesn't list those (htcondor.install doesn't mention
  usr/lib/python*)

When building the src package, the bindings get built but not installed.
What am I missing here?

Thanks,
 Steffen
