Also /usr/share/pyshared/taskcoachlib/thirdparty contains python code
grabbed from third parties, i.e. those are embedded libraries and we
try to avoid those in particular if they have already been packaged
separately in Debian.
You want to check those one by one and use the officially packaged variant
when it exists (i.e. replacing the files with symlinks towards the
official package).
