yes, this works as designed. --prefix always overrides the default that
Debian's system python does set. If you want to install into
/usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages, just omit the --prefix.
** Changed in: python2.6 (Ubuntu)
Status: New => Confirmed

Python distutils installs into 'site-packages' instead of 'dist-packages' when
a prefix is set
