title: Python module in 'dist-packages' vs. 'site-packages'
body: <p>I am building a deb package from source. The source used to install the modules in 'site-packages' in RHEL.</p>
  
  <p>On Ubuntu, 'site-packages' doesn't work for me. Searching over the net, it says that python Ubuntu would require it in 'dist-packages'</p>
  
  <p>But there are also references that python built from source would look in 'site-packages'</p>
  
  <p>Now I am confused, where should my deb packages install the modules so that it works irrespective of python built from source or installed from Ubuntu repo</p>
