That's a good question.  Its actually not me who did this.  I think
that's done here:

   https://salsa.debian.org/med-team/shasta/-/blob/master/debian/rules#L27

but I admit I have no idea why Shayan did so.  I wonder what might be the
proper way to do this to share the library between Python modules and the
executable.

Kind regards

       Andreas.
