Bug Description

Binary package hint: cdbs

Some Python applications install files in a private directory (e.g passing --install-lib to setup.py call) and do not touch at all /usr/lib/python*/dist-packages. When this happens, python-distutils.mk tries to create correspondant /usr/lib/python*/site-packages directories, but if /usr/lib/python*/dist-packages are not present, make can't parse jolly characters and creates stale, empty directories such as /usr/lib/python?.?/site-packages (with "?.?" as part of the directory name).

cdbs should check if /usr/lib/python*/dist-packages exists before attempting to create correspondant site-packages directory, attached debdiff fixes this.
