I did some more testing and gearman.libgearman actually works without the
__path__ changes, when it's installed in one of the standard Debian locations.
During compilation it's not, so it needs the __path__ changes then.

The problem with implementating that is python-gearman uses dh_python2 while
gearman.libgearman uses python-support, which results in the bytecode files
(.pyc) being installed into different directories. When I converted
gearman.libgearman to dh_python2 both packages work fine. Do you agree with this
solution?

I've attached the patch that I used for testing gearman.libgearman using
dh_python. You'll probably need to make some more changes, but maybe you can use
this.
