Hi,
Thanks for your bug report.
Starting from Python 2.6, the installation paths for distutils have
changed. Instead of /usr/lib/pythonX.Y/site-packages, the default has
now changed to /usr/local.
The build with python2.6 has been fixed in version 0.8.1-1 which has
not been uploaded to the archive due the lack of a sponsor.
A new version is available on mentors.d.n and it still fixes the
issue. Someone said I should join #debian-python on OFTC and add
pointers to [my] packages to the channel topic. I'll do that when I
get the chance.
To fix this issue, the recommended approach is to pass
--install-layout=deb to the python setup.py invocation. This is
already the default if you use dh - or migrate to dh, which is also
recommended.
I need backports to lenny, and --install-layout is not recognized in
Debian lenny.
I think the problem is about the same with dh : does not work with lenny.
Therefore, if this is not against policy, I prefer to keep my current
solution, that is until squeeze is frozen, at which point I'll migrate
the box I need backports on to squeeze.
Thanks, and feel free to correct me if I'm wrong with my solution.
Alex
