Comment 7 for bug 511585

I totally agree with you, guys, - I hate hardcoding myself. But meanwhile shouldn't we have a hackish fix that "just works (tm)" while Debian/Ubuntu Python team proposes a robust policy on how to deal with such problems?

Seen from my perspective ignoring this issue because "hardcoding is bad" is not a way to go either - casual users need distcc to work out of the box regardless of how it is packaged and don't bother creating dirty symlinks/patching the source on their own.

I suggest the following:
1. fix this issue with a hack (either with my patch or any other way)
2. create another one describing the python version hardcoding problem and handle it separately; this issue can address several packages at once (I don't think pump-distcc is that special with this problem)

Meanwhile users can enjoy the power of pupm-distcc.
