Bug Description

python-serial is installed under /usr/share/pyshared, which is not in python(2.7)'s search path. Thus it can't be imported.

The following works around the problem:
import sys
sys.path.append('/usr/share/pyshared')

Confirmed, I've linked a branch that fixes the issue by not cleaning up the /usr/lib/* in python-serial.
