  * Update installation schemes: LP: #338395.
    - When the --prefix option is used for setup.py install, Use the
      `unix_prefix' scheme.
    - Use the `deb_system' scheme if --install-layout=deb is specified.
    - Use the the `unix_local' scheme if neither --install-layout=deb
      nor --prefix is specified.
    - The options --install-layout=deb and --prefix are exclusive.
  * Don't fail installation/removal if directories in /usr/local cannot
    be created. LP: #338227.
