hmm, just had a look, and it seems the manpage could use some more tweaking.
It nolonger puts anything in /var/lib/python-central, as it uses the dpkg
database for everything. Actually, the register-python script itself still
has a few vestigial references to this directory to.

Otherwise... nice. Thanks for the credits :-).

Perhaps worth emphasising is that this will only multi-python compile stuff
in /usr/lib/python/site-packages. Some Python apps put their own modules in
their own /usr/lib/<app> directory. For these apps to take advantage of
python-central the modules must be in a /usr/lib/python/site-packages/<app>
directory.
