Re: Eggs, VirtualEnv, and Apt - best practices?

you have just described OS package building ;)

I can't speak for everybody, but supporting multiple platforms (PHP, Perl,
Python, Java) we found that the only way to stay consistent is to use OS
native packaging tools (in your case apt and .deb ) and if you're missing
something - roll your own package. After a while you accumulate plenty of
templates to chose from when you need yet-another-library not available
upstream in your preferred package format. Remember that some python tools
might depend on non-python packages, so the only way to make sure all that
is consistent across environment - use unified package management.

you're speaking for lots of organizations, at least.

rpm/debs from supplier's repository
subversion (or equivalent) -> locally built rpm/debs
+ organization's favourite deployment tools
