This seems like the expected result to me. On my Ubuntu system,
/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages comes before
/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages in sys.path, and /usr/local/bin and
sbin come before /usr/bin and sbin.

I would argue that the user should remove the distro package, but it
looks like everything would work fine.
