it seems that this change has caused some trouble in autotools
(m4.python maybe, but that is a wild guess)

i'll try to describe it in detail:
app that has suffered is hamster-applet [1]

when ./autogen.sh is run and autotools are called, python extension
module is detected wrongly:

checking for python script directory... ${prefix}/lib/python2.6/site-packages
checking for python extension module directory... 
${exec_prefix}/lib/python2.6/site-packages


but 
python -c "import sys; print sys.path"

is looking in /usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages


which results, as one would expect, failure

I'm no expert in autotools, so would appreciate some feedback or
verification that indeed is a bug.
