Public bug reported:

When installing a python package locally (--prefix=/usr/local) with
setuptools, it is installed in the site-packages subdirectory instead of
dist-packages. As the former is not on sys.path anymore (at least with
lucid), the locally installed package doesn't load when imported.

This is similar to bug #362570, except for setuptools instead of stock
python 2.6. Presumably changes similar to those that fix that bug need
to be made to setuptools.

** Affects: python-setuptools (Ubuntu)
