 And the patch I submitted, while fixing py-ldap2, breaks other packages.
 
 To properly handle pkg and pkgng packages of python modules will require 
 the development and use of a tool similar to dh_python[23] from Debian.
 
 But the first step to doing that will involve patching the python builds 
 to differentiate between a site-packages (For things installed outside 
 pkg and pkgng) and something like dist-packages (For things managed by 
 pkg and pkgng).
