Public bug reported:
In python2.6 2.6.1-1ubuntu1 on jaunty, distutils has been patched to
make a bare 'python setup.py install' use /usr/local instead of /usr
(distutils-install-layout.dpatch). The problem is that this also
prevents me from using distutils to install a python module to somewhere
like /opt/foo. If I run 'python setup.py install --prefix=/opt/foo', the
package is installed to /opt/foo/local.
A better solution might be to modify the default prefix to /usr/local
and make ubuntu packages override it.
