I was disagreeing with: "dist-packages is only for Debian distro use".

I agree with, "distro stuff is always in /usr, not /usr/local/".

dist-packages is not system only.

/usr/lib/pythonX.Y/dist-packages is system/distro only.
/usr/local/lib/pythonX.Y/dist-packages is for local use.

This is the same as:
/usr/lib/pythonX.Y/site-packages is system/distro only.
/usr/local/lib/pythonX.Y/site-packages is for local use.

Which is the same as:
/usr/bin is system/distro only.
/usr/local/bin is for local use.
