This is a bit odd.

We don't do anything special with our uses of the Python distutils
module.  The string "site-packages" does not even appear in
xen-unstable the source[1] !

Ubuntu python packaging.  But the Ubuntu Python maintainer seems not
to have understood the problem and has called the bug a wishlist bug.
