Sounds like that duplicates iso-codes:

The FamFamFam flags are already in Debian, please don't duplicate them:

Looking at the upstream code, it downloads a file off the ISO website
and converts that to python:

http://bitbucket.org/smileychris/django-countries/src/tip/django_countries/bin/regenerate.py

I wonder if the ISO considers that file to be copyrightable and if so,
what the license is.

Bah, I forgot to say that it should be packaged separately and
Build-Depended on so that a rebuild can update the list of countries.
Even better would be loading it at runtime.

Wouldn't it be even better if django-countries build-depends on
iso-codes and generate it's list of codes from the XML sources?

As for the icons I'll take a look on how to use them (and possibly the
PNG variant too) directly from the famfamfam-flag-* package.

Kind regards,
Michael
