Indeed, I though about that, but python-slugify has been developed as an 
application[0] so I think it's rather a bad idea to completely ignore the 
entry point, even if it's not really useful. I think upstream would disagree, 
too. In my opinion, better build a third package, even if it won't be used
a lot.

The entry point is generated by 'setup.py install_scripts', which is executed
by pybuild after files specified in *.install have been installed (correct me 
if I'm wrong). So, I think that what you suggest won't work unless I write my 
own entry point, install it via debian/slugify.install and ignore those generated 
by setup.py. I think this would be even dirtier than what I already done. ;-)
