You're not _supposed_ to look in sys.prefix + '/local'. (i.e. /usr/local) If you used a pure version of distutils, then everything would fall straight into sys.prefix. However the Debian version has been patched. You can simply install as follows and get everything to work properly:
$ sudo python setup.py install --install-layout=deb
Now, all your files are installed as expected (i.e. into /usr instead of /usr/local )

Also, instead of search in your python code for where to find your other files, maybe do that work in a .sh file like Severin suggested?
