Public bug reported:
I need to install a couple of packages for a custom sys.path and it
fails. Ubuntu patch modifies default `pip` behaviour to install packages
into user path, but it does this with a hack. That hack unconditionally
adds --user options, and it should add it only if user doesn't specify
alternatives, such as --target.
$ pip install --target xxx ansible
...
Installing collected packages: PyYAML, MarkupSafe, jinja2, pyasn1, six,
pycparser, cffi, bcrypt, idna, enum34, ipaddress, asn1crypto, cryptography,
pynacl, paramiko, pycrypto, setuptools, ansible
