Additional question: When using GNU autotools for a Python program,
.pyc files are generated, which should not be packaged.  I just
don't include the .pyc files in the .install files, but maybe there
is a better way.  Main problem remains: dh_python will not be
called without including python-distutils.mk.  Maybe CDBS lacks a
python-nodistutils.mk?
