Ubuntu is only doing the symlinks because they (against my advice in
advance!) shipped them with .py extensions for a month or so. This
violates Debian/Ubuntu Policy, so they fixed it, but they didn't want to
regress anyone who was using those paths. The symlinks, from what I
understand (though I haven't checked) were only going to exist in
Xenial. There's no need for them in Debian.
