Yeah, the cause of this is our posix_local sysconfig scheme.
Ideally pip should have a --scheme argument. At least in Debian, where
we have multiple schemes interacting with each other, that could make
sense.
Or pip could use some knowledge of Debian's schemes to select
posix_prefix / posix_local as appropriate...
This all gets messy, I'm afraid.
