I completely agree. SCons should be used to install (and probably to prepare packages such as the Debian package as well). It is simpler to use one tool and one script (or at least, one language and one set of related scripts) to do all this work, which it is well capable of, rather than a motley collection of tools and scripts.

Regards,
Mike
