Done.  Patch attached.

I can tell you that it is part of the main python package in Fedora.  I 
can also tell you that on Fedora using setup.py without python-devel 
doesn't work because python uses a Makefile as a source of data for the 
install command.  (Test that by running: python 
/usr/lib/python2.5/distutils/tests/test_install.py )

But that problem doesn't interfere with 
distutils.sysconfig.get_python_lib() so I don't know if there's a 
different problem in Ubuntu/Debian or if you're thinking that this 
problem has a wider scope than it does.
