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.
