Description


<pre>
For Debian and derivatives, this sys.path is augmented with directories
    for packages distributed within the distribution. Local addons go
    into /usr/local/lib/python<version>/dist-packages, Debian addons
    install into /usr/{lib,share}/python<version>/dist-packages.
    /usr/lib/python<version>/site-packages is not used.
</pre>

If by default the python wrappers are installed to dist-packages on debian machines, then the python path does not need to be mangled by hand.

Attached is a patch
