We're talking about

   /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/ffado/


and

  http://www.debian.org/doc/packaging-manuals/python-policy/ch-python.html#s-paths

says

   Public Python modules not handled by python-central or python-support
   must be installed in the system Python modules directory,
   /usr/lib/pythonX.Y/dist-packages for python2.6 and later, and
   /usr/lib/pythonX.Y/site-packages for python2.5 and earlier.

We could probably call python-support in the rules file, if it's not
done automagically by cdbs. ;)

In addition,
 

   http://www.debian.org/doc/packaging-manuals/python-policy/ch-module_packages.html

says

   Python packages are directories containing at least a __init__.py,
   other modules, extensions and packages (A package in the Python sense is
   unrelated to a Debian package)
