Yes, I haven't raised my concern very loud because I haven't had a chance to
check whether there really is a better solution.

The problem I have with the current patch is the split of the arch: any
files into /usr/lib/python2.x/site-packages, with the arch: all files into
/usr/share/pycentral/, when we are only shipping support for one version of
python at a time and therefore pycentral gives us no benefits, only
complexity.

So it would be nice to leave everything in /usr/lib/python2.x/site-packages
and fix up the handling of byte-compiling, which should be possible, but I
don't yet understand what was wrong in the first place that resulted in .pyc
files being left behind.

Cheers,
