I don't know, but I know Debian has a group of people working out how
to package Python and software written in Python.  Those guys have a
home page somewhere at debian.org -- there should be information
there, and/or under /usr/share/doc/python* on your system.

Another answer is "let distutils do its job and do not worry", but
sometimes you need to know the rules and the reasons ...
