We get so many crashes which are due to Python modules not being
functional at all during dist-upgrades (or after a partially failed
one), that we really need to fix this properly once and for all. We
should investigate the following possibilities:
* Drop all the symlink magic and instead add the non-version-dependent
module directories to the default module search path of all python
versions. (My prefered solution)
* Do all the symlink removal and updates in postinst only, so that it
happens atomically.
