[MESOS-8401] Python files in Debian package in wrong location with wrong permissions

• Type: Bug

Description

When I install the Mesos package the Python files are installed in `/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages`. This should be dist-packages:

Also, the permissions are quite restrictive, and can only be accessed by root.

This wouldn't be a problem if the Python API was easily installable by Pip which they are not, which makes the Debian packages potentially very useful.
