I don't know about ports or macport, but Debian has recently
switched to a different policy for python packages which does not
involve as many Python version specific copies of things. You might
want to look at "python-central" and stdeb.
The version-specific copies are still there in the latest Debian
practices. That's a necessary artefact of the per-version
site-packages of Python.
What has changed is that the tools in common use for Debian packaging
of Python libraries have taken on the role of generating those
per-version copies at install time.
This means that, for pure-Python libraries, the source package need
only contain a version-independent source and a declaration of which
Python versions it should be installed for. The installation tool will
take care of making the per-version copies in various places.
Maybe. I'm no expert on Debian packaging. However,

That doesn't seem to agree with your statement. Am I missing something?
