Fails to build debian package

[ingenium13]

When I try to build a debian package with the debian.sh script, it fails to build:

It's because the directory name doesn't conform to Debian's strict standards.

cd ..
mv PyBitmessage pybitmessage
cd pybitmessage
./debian.sh

This is obsolete. Current way to make deb is to call python setup.py --command-packages=stdeb.command bdist_deb.
