>It's consulting the fallback list first, rather than as a fallback.

Ah, from some more reading of the code, it's a fallback source of pydist 
data. If a package were to publish pydist data, that would override 
this. So it really is a fallback.

I'm not going to make dh-python consult dpkg file databases first, I'm 
just going to improve the log messages so they more accurately show 
what's going on.
