Well I expect you to read through my bugreport for instance.

You got me wrong, I'm not saying there's an issue with a file I don't
know where it come from. I'm talking about an error message that points
in the wrong direction and makes the real cause of any error produced by
ensurepip quite difficult to spot.

By the way I'm not asking you to fix my Debian installation, just
pointing out that an error message emitted by python3-venv is misleading
to the point it hides the real cause of the error. If that's not
relevant to you maybe it will for someone else reading that message
again in the future.

Furthermore it's funny that the comment to this try...except clause
states:

====================================================================
 # Debian 2015-09-18 ba...@debian.org: <python>-venv is a separate
 # binary package which might not be installed.  In that case, the
 # following command will produce an unhelpful error.  Let's make it
 # more user friendly.
=====================================================================
