Well, it goes further than just the local system. For example, if there was another project unrelated to OpenStack which also had a module named "placement" in the default import path, then Debian wouldn't be able to carry packages for both projects without modifying. At least one would need the module renamed or would need to put it in a private path and then any consumers would need to be adjusted to suit. -- Jeremy Stanley
