Title:
Python distutils installs into 'site-packages' instead of 'dist-
packages' when a prefix is set

Bug description:
Binary package hint: python2.6
When running a setup.py script with distutils in Jaunty like this:
$ python setup.py install
modules get installed at '/usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages'.
In contrast, when running
$ python setup.py install --prefix=/usr/local
modules get installed at '/usr/local/lib/python2.6/site-packages'.
In the same way
$ python setup.py install --prefix=/usr
installs modules at '/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages'.
The problem is that '/usr/[local/]lib/python2.6/site-packages' is not
part of the default sys.path .
Maybe this is intended but I would expect that specifying an install
prefix like 'usr' or 'usr/local' still installs modules to a place
which is in Python's default search path - it worked this way in
Ubuntu <= 8.10 .
