Interesting, but I think this will not work "out of the box" for packages
that should provide Python eggs. 

I just checked python-cherrypy and I noticed that it only provides
/usr/share/python-support/cherrypy/CherryPy-2.1.1-py2.3.egg-info
(there's no egg for python 2.4 version). It should provide both.

Any idea on how to nicely fix that ?
