now i have a valid reason for this feature: it was requested to install the test files for pylint. pylint has, on purpose, invalid files among these tests, but forcing pycompile/py3compile on them of course it will fail, making the package uninstallable as-is; i'll try shipping customized postinst scripts, but that sucks. is there any other solution than having this bug fixed? thanks
