Summary: add support for installations compiled for debugging

Initial Comment:
[ forwarded from http://bugs.debian.org/195610 ]

maybe this request is unreasonable, but then at least
here is a place where the discussion gets recorded...

The bug submitter wants to have a python installation,
which is compiled with -g3 -O0 and is installed as a
package of a distribution. Surely you can get this done
using a different prefix than the standard python
installation, but then you have to duplicate most
things of the installation. The following could be done:

- install the python executable under a different name
(that's trivial and doesn't need to be done by the
build procedure).

- load modules from lib-debugload instead of
lib-dynload, install modules in this directory.

- add support for distutils for "debug builds", i.e.
install modules into lib-debugload instead of lib-dynload.
