This is where things are wrong. There should be one directory
in /usr/share/python-support for each package, and not a single
directory for the three packages.

I don’t understand why you are trying to do something so incredibly
complicated. Instead, you should:
1. remove any customization that places stuff
in /usr/share/python-support directly;
2. remove all the useless hacks you added as a result of this;
3. let dh_pysupport do the job of moving the right files to the
right directories and add the proper prerm/postinst snippets.
