Normally the scripts are not copied a second time, if they exist at the
destination (have a look at winpdb, for example - if you want to build it in a
chroot, don't forget to s/python/python-all/ in the build-deps. So usually - and
in my experience - dh does the right thing as it is now.
The last time we had such an issue it was due to the setup.py doing weird things
(like creating the to-be-installed script on the fly). I didn't have the time to
investigate in zhone, but I'm kinda sure its an issue with its setup.py.
