Issue Description:
The latest swift:5.0.1 Docker images contain some Python modules in directory /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages - but Debian / Ubuntu expect them to be installed to /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages instead, and for site-packages to be a symlink to dist-packages.
If you try to install python, you currently get:
Preparing to unpack .../python2.7-minimal_2.7.15~rc1-1ubuntu0.1_amd64.deb ...
new installation of python2.7-minimal; /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages is a directory
which is expected a symlink to /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages.
please find the package shipping files in /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages and
file a bug report to ship these in /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages instead
aborting installation of python2.7-minimal
A workaround is to move the contents of site-packages into dist-packages, and create the symlink, after which python will install happily.
