Oh that's nice. I found the *.py in /usr/share/python-support, and
didn't look for them under /var/lib.

I still think there's currently no protection against silent breakage
in python-support. Packages are still ./configured to install python
modules into /usr/lib, but this does not reflect the runtime location
of files. This is particularly a problem for plugins mechanisms.
I suppose it would be enough to 1) document the problem in the
python-support documentation 2) recommend people to ./configure with a
python path of /var/lib/python-support/pythonX.Y 3) stop moving files
from /usr/lib/pythonX.Y into /var/lib/python-support. 3) is obviously
for the long term.
