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.
