Installing scripts into /usr/share/ and symlinking them
to /usr/{s,}bin is a bit easier.

He was talking about private modules that should be found by
python. Symlinking to /usr/{S,}bin wouldn't be any usefull in my opinion.

Reading only the first few messages: -> there was a BoF where something was discussed -> the Python Toolchain maintainer isn't doing his Job -> some ignore what was discussed/decided/requested/demanded at that BoF -> what this actually was and why is in the minds of a few people and not written down.

Ack. Probably do what most people (no, I didn't count them) seem to do: Use python-support and debian/pyversions. And if you run into problems, you join #debian-python on OFTC and just ask for help.
