I do not know what the trouble is with this, exactly but in the
postinst script the lines that are supposed to pass the -q to the
compileall.py script get interpreted as python opions and not passed to
the script.  

I simply deleted the -q in the offending lines in
/var/lib/dpkg/info/python-base.postinst and it appears to be working fine
... though probably a bit more verbose than intended.
