The files are indeed cache, and should be generated on the system that
installs the files, not the system that builds them. They are currently
outside of VDB. pyc files store the path to the original files, so
generating in ${ROOT} yields in wrong paths. Python sometimes
regenerates the files when it runs. It may as well just ignore them
(since they are newer but non-matching, unclear to me). In the worst
case it returns "Bad marshalling data".
