At least python-support is not the only package to do that. On my system, the following directories are generated upon package installation and will not change in other situations: /var/lib/aspell /var/lib/defoma /var/lib/dictionaries-common /var/lib/doc-base /var/lib/gconf /var/lib/iceweasel /var/lib/initramfs-tools /var/lib/libxml-sax-perl /var/lib/menu-xdg /var/lib/python-support /var/lib/scrollkeeper /var/lib/tex-common /var/lib/texmf /var/lib/usbutils /var/lib/vim /var/lib/xml-core /var/cache/app-install /var/cache/dictionaries-common /var/cache/fontconfig You can see that python-support does nothing more than following current practice. Therefore the decision of moving these files to some place in /usr should probably be made as a whole, not for a single package. Cheers, -- .''`. : :' : We are debian.org.
