It works for me when building the Debian package, but I'm otherwise
having trouble with it. I haven't done a lot of testing, but it seems to
be the case that it is still trying to install the Python bits directly
to /usr, ignoring the destdir. This is the case with Python 2 and 3, and
both with and without my patch.

Does the /usr/local/lib/python... directory exist?
For example, I don't get ~/.local/... in my sys.path unless the
directory exists.
