Indeed. I've not investigated this enough to know for sure, but it seems
that the lazr deb doesn't contain the correct __init__.py files. I
suspect they're setup after the fact, e.g. in a postinst. Anyway, as
Sergio said, I was able to work around it by using `python-packages`
instead. My use-case was launchpadlib as well, so you might find this
useful:
