this works as intended. You should not install into /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages by default. This belongs to the distribution, the risk of accidentally overwriting things there are too big. For package builds, just use --install-layout=deb as documented in the Debian wiki. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
