Howdy,

well right, in theory it should. in reality it does place the configuration
files at a wrong installation path. i did not figure whats the issue as the same
setup.py works perfectly on my arch machine. so the issue seems to be the way
how Debian handles non source files in setup.py files with pip3.
If anyone knows about the reason, let me know.
here the setup file for pip:
