Guess it's time to close this one about the Python scheme to use with
Debian. We'll see how it turns out with the next pretest ... --thanks, karl.
Hi Stefano,
I'm not aware of anyone else using posix_local.
Well, I don't know how to check for the deb_system scheme being
present, so I made the assumption. How does this change look?
Are the descriptions correct?
I also pulled out the common "scheme-setting" code into a variable.
Thanks,

Yes, it's a Debianism. It was the best way to get "setup.py install" to
direct to /usr/local by default, on Debian systems, a
Hi Stefano,
returning automake behaviour back to what it used to be.
That seems like a good outcome to me. I wasn't actually looking to
improve on that result :).

Compare these:
