the issue goes beyond multiarched python (for which there already are
in-python upstreamed ways to get the path, e.g.
get_python_inc(plat_specific=1)).

e.g. numpy needs it for its own of distutils
So unless you want to revert multiarch as a whole or teach all upstreams
to stop relying on stuff being in usr/lib, having something in python
itself to get the path is a good thing.
