You can get a copy of pythonlib and install it in the location where
Ubuntu/Debian expect it:

     /var/lib/mailman/pythonlib

I have no idea if there would be any incompatibilities between the
pythonlib directory as produced from a SourceForge Mailman 2.1.9
installation and the rest of Mailman as distributed in the Ubuntu
package.

Here is a directory listing on my production Mailman 2.1.9 machine:
