Hello,

Several times I have made the mistake of building a Debian package while a
virtualenv is active. This results in the paths being incorrect in the
Debian package. Sometimes the package build will fail as a result, this
depends on the package.

Fortunately, so far I have always noticed this before uploading the
package, however think it is only a matter of time before I stuff up an
upload.

Just wondering if it would be considered appropriate to have, say,
dh_auto_build fail if it is about to call setup.py and it is inside a
virtualenv.

Just a thought.

Thanks.
