The Python situation sounds remarkably like the Emacs one, don't you
think? We have several (okay, two) flavours, and the modules provide
source that can be byte-compiled at install-time.
Maybe we could reuse the Emacs way? Ask Joey to add a dh_python,
write up a /usr/lib/pythonen-common/python-install, and byte-compile
at install-time for all the present flavours?
Just an idea, of course.
