hm... sorry, but I don't see the actual point...
configuration (.ini) needs to be under /etc, and that is what I am
aiming at...
What I want is to have just 1 tiny section in
/etc/python/debian_config
something like
[PATH]
add-local = true
or just
path-add-local = true
in the [DEFAULT]
instead of a monstrous hackish /etc/python2.X/site.py which was later on
actually removed the honor to be a config file and replaced in
2.5.2-1 with somewhat more concise sitecustomize.py, but I am not
even sure if it is appropriate place to add a 1-liner to customize
sys.path. And imho it is not a config file per se -- it is once again
just a snippet of code, although nice and concise.
Also such decision (to include or not-include local dirs) is not
python-version specific, so imho /etc/python/debian_config sounds like a
perfect location to specify such behavior
