Have done this, result is in subversion.


And we could/should move to that common package all the non *.py files

If possible we should move them to under /usr/share and eliminate
the image-file-in-usr-lib lintian warning.

However, this is going to get rather tedious rather quickly. There are
numerous locale directories for example. Think each one has to be moved and
replaced by a symlink. Not sure how to do this and not end up with a total
mess in the process.

At quick glance, appears numerous directories are affected:

/usr/lib/python*/dist-packages/django/contrib/admin/static
/usr/lib/python*/dist-packages/django/contrib/*/locale
/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/django/contrib/*/fixtures
/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/django/contrib/gis/tests/*/fixtures
/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/django/contrib/gis/tests/*/data
/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/django/contrib/*/templates
/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/django/contrib/*/*/templates

This list is probably incomplete.
