If the port uses distutils, it should not matter, if you do not mess around in
the post-install targets yourself, since the file list will be taken from what
distutils records - we do not implement magic ourselves for distutils-aware
ports (well, a bit :-).
If this does not work properly for you, upstream might do something that
breaks the intended behaviour of distutils.

So, before fixing the symptom, I actually would like to find out, what exactly
they do on installation. Are all files properly recorded in ${_PYTHONPKGLIST}?
What errors do you get, what does the install target complain about, etc.etc.?
