python-central and python-support will generate symlinks to Python
modules and extensions for newly installed Python version and then
bytecompile modules.

Debian packages contain Python extensions for all supported Python
versions and Python moduless that are later symlinked to the end
location and bytecompiled. If Python modules cannot be shared between
various Python versions, different versions are shipped inside the
package.
