This is incorrect. I think you're basing a lot of this on the name "dist-packages". But dist-packages is simply a renaming of site-packages. The purpose of this renaming "is to reduce conflict between the system Python, and any from-source Python build you might install manually." More importantly, the same document explicitly says, "Note that /usr/local/lib/pythonX.Y/dist-packages is in sys.path so that modules not installed from Debian packages can still be accessed by the system Python." -- https://wiki.debian.org/Python#Deviations_from_upstream -- Richard
