This would be a change just to the setuptools package -- it would not
require any change to any of the affected packages.  The change would be
to have the setuptools package add the following to the system-wide
distutils config file:

[easy_install]
site-dirs=/var/lib/python-support/python2.5

Presumably there will be a deeper patch to setuptools/easy_install in
the future, but I thought that this one would be an easy change to make
right now.

If that doesn't seem like a good idea to the Debian/Ubuntu packagers
then I'll try to think of an alternative fix.

easy_install will install a package that is already there
