This is incorrect.

I think you're basing a lot of this on the name "dist-packages". But
dist-packages is simply a renaming of site-packages. The purpose of this
renaming "is to reduce conflict between the system Python, and any
from-source Python build you might install manually."

More importantly, the same document explicitly says, "Note that
/usr/local/lib/pythonX.Y/dist-packages is in sys.path so that modules
not installed from Debian packages can still be accessed by the system
Python."
