On the other hand if this result is expected and it was a design decision we should clearly state it somewhere.
Whole migration to dist-packages/ should be documented as well - right now we differ from mainstream python and all the others distribution. Also our own python2.5 package doesn't use dist-packages/ but site-packages/ as expected. It's really confusing and it will catch many users off guard..
