Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: python2.5

Distutils should tell swig to create it's C wrapper file into the
temporary directory (eg. build/temp.linux-i686-2.5) and to write the
language specific files to the library directory (eg.
build/lib.linux-i686-2.5).

Rationale:
Without the language specific files, python swig extensions won't be able to 
run, so they should definetly be distributed by distutils.
The wrapper files are build by-products and should therefore be in the 
temporary directory, so they get cleaned up on "setup.py clean".

This is hardy heron, python2.5 2.5.2-2ubuntu3
