What you can expect: you have available all the gluon modules and functions. Remember you can use dal or the html parser for non-web2py projects. On the other hand, you can start web2py from any directory passing the -f parameter. Having gluon available in the sys.path you only need to pass to web2py the applications directory path. No other files or directories are needed. That's the way Debian package works and there are not known problems with it.
