So mayavi2 still does not install under hardy. Hum, this is really bad.

AFAIK we do not hardcode any paths in Mayavi2. We heavily really on
setuptools (for the best or the worst :->).

Would simply syncing the debian package be an option? The upstream code
itself was consolidated quite a lot, and few features where added, so I
would hope that no new bugs appear.

Thanks for keeping me posted, this issue is very important for me,
unfortunatebly as I know next to nothing about packaging, I have
difficulties helping out.

Cheers,
