Sorry for late reply.

The python module contains binary. architecture-dependent code and can
for that reason not be installed in  /usr/lib/python3/ due to overall
multi-arch requirements.

That said, the official Debian documents I find are not explicit on how
to install these kind of modules. Sending a message to debian-devel in
an attempt to get this sorted out.

Title:
  python library installed into site-packages instead of into dist-
  packages

Status in lirc package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  The lirc package comes with python libraries and it installs the libraries into 
     /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/python3.6/site-packages
  This results in the libraries not being found by system python.

  From what I read in https://wiki.debian.org/Python
  they should instead be installed into 
     /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages
