I don't use Ubuntu but you're probably correct. Any modifications you
make to the installed system package outside of apt need to be manually
fixed during an upgrade. This usually, as I hinted to earlier, becomes a
road block.

I don't understand your question but virtualenvwrapper installed from
apt and from PyPI will be the same except for the possibility that the
ubuntu packaged version will be slightly older than what you get from
PyPI.
