The "new python policy" instructions say you should pass it the
"directories containing private python modules"; I understood that to
be relative to the package as installed, but the error suggests it is
actually the build-time directories. Try with:

 dh_pysupport -a `find debian/mailman/var/lib/mailman/Mailman/ -type d`
