Sorry if I wasn't clear earlier. I meant was the Debian package.

So is it okay to have multiple files in /usr/share/pyshared/ instead of 
/usr/share/pyshared/apt-offline/   ?

The only reason I asked was because I couldn't find anything relevant to 
this in the Debian Python Policy. And with many packages installed, it will 
clutter the /usr/share/pyshared/ folder.
