There was a problem hiding this comment.
This would work, if we had the postinstalls setup. There are notes in #199 about that.
There are many packaging guides for debian packages. And there are many debian packages with python code. Please find the appropriate guide that explains the recommended approach, or if that can't be found find examples where maintainers are already dealing with this in accepted packages. We don't want to stay as closely as we can to standard debian packaging practices otherwise it will be harder to remain compliant for other debian practices policies.

In freshly-generated bloom templates for Debian, clean out any compiled Python bytecode that might have been installed. This is handled by a
findfollowing thedh_auto_install, so we still get the benefits of e.g. syntax checking that come with compiling the python.This also ought resolve #199 from 2013 or so, and eliminate the lintian error
package-installs-python-bytecode(https://lintian.debian.org/tags/package-installs-python-bytecode.html).
