No I didn't mean that, I just told that dh_pycentral is supposed to
create the substvar for you but since it doesn't I need you to answer this
question:

Because the substvar are generated based on what python scripts and python
modules are found and where they are located... try running the build with
DH_VERBOSE=1 to have more info about what dh_pycentral finds.
Otherwise please put up the package online somewhere so that we can check
what's wrong...

Python modules (or extensions) installed in a non-public/standard directory.
