Bug#565973: cdbs should not use --prefix, but --install-layout=deb
--install-{pure,lib} is used later anyway, so --install-layout=deb
will not change much (and please don't mention tarball workaround used in
Ubuntu).
both dh_pycentral and dh_pysupport move files from site-packages to
dist-packages, so #567745 is not relevant.

as I did mention in the original report, it does make a difference. please fix
this appropriately. If --install-{pure,lib} isn't doing the right thing, it
should be fixed.
I don't know how the rant about the tarball workaround belong in this report.

the bug you mentioned was caused by python-central (which wasn't moving
files from site- to dist-packages for a very long time), not by cdbs.

cdbs in Ubuntu was doing what --install-platlib and --install-purelib
does but they used tar to achieve that
Anyway, --install-layout=deb will be overridden later with
--install-{pure,plat}lib and that's what you want to be changed, not
--prefix=/usr, right?. I understand that it's better to use the final
location (BTW, can you point me to any other package than numpy that
needs that?) but right now there are too many packages depending on
"site-packages" so it a way easier to let package(s?) like numpy
override the default location.
What do you think about adding DEB_PYTHON_INSTALL_FOO variable that will
tell cdbs to use dist-packages by default?

In your original report you did not provide evidence supporting your
claim. You later pointed to subvertpy as an example, but that bug has
apparently been fixed by tightening a dependency on python-support which
indicates the root of the problem not being in CDBS.
please fix this appropriately. If --install-{pure,lib} isn't doing
the right thing, it should be fixed.
Please provide evidence, as I requested yesterday!
I still fail to understand what exactly is wrong in how CDBS works
currently: We need a concrete case to investigate.
Kind regards,
- Jonas
