The upcoming python-support 0.3 will include an improved dh_pysupport
script which should make packaging straightforward, by moving the files
from standard places to python-support places and adding required
dependencies automatically.

But you're right, an example should be included.

I think you should stop ship it as a symbolic link, as this way it
cannot cope with major python upgrades. A better way would be to
make /usr/bin/webcheck a very small script looking like:
#! /usr/bin/python
import webcheck
webcheck.main()
(I have no idea of the actual needed syntax, but I think you get the
idea.)
