This has changed a lot recently; in particular, Debian package install Python libraries usually to other locations than ‘/usr/lib/’. It's also long been the case that there are several Python packaging helpers in common use, and so different packages will exhibit different installation behaviour depending on which helper was used to package them. Can you please confirm that this is still a problem with current Python packages in Debian? If so, can you please determine whether it's only one of the helpers (e.g. only ‘dh_pycentral’, or only ‘dh_python2’, or only ‘dh_pysupport’), or some combination. -- \ “It ain't so much the things we don't know that get us in | `\ trouble.
