Deprecating /usr/lib/site-python in python policy
Hi,
as part of the new policy we should also deprecate /usr/lib/site-python.
Since this directory is in sys.path of all python versions, if we
byte-compile those in-place for the current version, then the modules
won't work with other python versions.
Most packages using this directory (like linda) use this directory for
private python modules that should be moved in /usr/share/$package
for examples.
This principle has been agreed by Matthias and Josselin.
Someone should file a wishlist bug on lintian to check that packages don't
use /usr/lib/site-python any more.
Cheers,
