Please note another aspect of this problem will bite all Python developers on 
Ubuntu 11.04.  With the introduction of multiarch, not all stdlib Python 
extension modules can be built out of the box, as seen here:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/db4.8/+bug/738213/comments/13

Ubuntu's source package was hacked to make things work, by calling out to 
dpkg-architecture and adding the resulting directories to library_dirs and 
include_dirs search paths.  That patch would obviously have to be modified at 
the very least to be robust on non-Debian/Ubuntu platforms.

I'm not sure what the right solution is for upstream.
