this is by design. in python2.5, the directory /usr/local/lib/python2.5/site-packages was the standard site-packages of an default local python installation (which goes into /usr/local). with the new behaviour, locally installed packages installed with the "system" python go into /usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages.

If you do want to have the old behaviour, move all stuff in /usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages to /usr/local/lib/python2.6/site-packages and make /usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages a symlink to /usr/local/lib/python2.6/site-packages.
