Bug Description
Binary package hint: python2.6
The new Python 2.6 in Jaunty (2.6.1-1ubuntu5.1) seems to be missing /usr/local/
This can be a problem, or at least an inconvenience, if you for some reason wants to install your own python stuff under /usr/local/.

this is by design. in python2.5, the directory /usr/local/ lib/python2. 5/site- packages was the standard site-packages of an default local python installation (which goes into /usr/local). with the new behaviour, locally installed packages installed with the "system" python go into /usr/local/ lib/python2. 6/dist- packages.
If you do want to have the old behaviour, move all stuff in /usr/local/ lib/python2. 6/dist- packages to /usr/local/ lib/python2. 6/site- packages and make /usr/local/ lib/python2. 6/dist- packages a symlink to /usr/local/ lib/python2. 6/site- packages.
