I ask  this because I  have many packages  that use unittests  after the
build.  I add  /var/lib/python-support  to PYTHONPATH  and launch  those
tests. Because the path has changed, this does not work any more.

You suggest to run those tests against the sources instead. However, the
main interests of those tests for me is to check that the binary package
works as expected. For example, if setup.py (or debian/rules) forgets to
ship one  file, this would  go unseen if  unittests are run  against the
sources.

Is there a way to know where python-support installs the files?
