I think it would be better to do the check before installing anything. If we

I think we agree on the following as a viable, and probably the best,
option:
In the `waf install` process, after the PYTHONDIR directory is created,
check sys.path. If PYTHONDIR is not in sys.path, do $SOMETHING.
It sounds like

As a start, as Richard has already done the work of packaging ntpsec for
Debian, perhaps we could include his "patches" in HEAD

Not that it matters much, but just for clarification... For Debian, the
temp location is ./debian/tmp (where . is the source tree). For RedHat,

I'm not yet certain whether python or the distributions have
