As I understand it, Debhelper is only a requirement for you to build
the DOLFIN package, not for a user who installs it so it should not be
a requirement. Right?

Should be very easy to package. The only thing that needs to happen is
a to copy a bunch of .py files to

    /usr/lib/python-<version>/site-packages/<name>

which is what happens when you run

    python setup.py install

in FFC or FIAT (Python standard correpsonding to ./configure + make).

But this can wait.

Seems to be difficult to get around:
