New question #140471 on Graphite:
https://answers.launchpad.net/graphite/+question/140471

For the sake of simplicity, I am attempting to create a package for each of the three graphite components (carbon, whisper, and graphite-web).  

For carbon and whisper, this works fine -- I can run `python setup.py bdist_rpm` in the base directory of the package, and then install the resulting RPM (or use alien to convert it to Ubuntu) without any trouble.

However, for graphite-web, I'm running into an issue.  Specifically, the package that's created does not contain the directories webapp/content or webapp/graphite/templates.

Both of these directories are necessary for the web front-end to function correctly.

As I have very little experience with distutils, I'm not in a great position to know why this is breaking -- it's really not clear to me at all, unfortunately.  I'm hoping, though, that this is a problem that others have run into and solved given that a packaged form of the software would seem to be a useful thing.  

(NB, I can work around this by doing an install from source -- `python setup.py install --root /dest/path` works fine -- I'd just like to be able to manage my graphite install with the same config management system, and the same repository, that I use for everything else.)

Thanks!
