FWIW, I think the above is indeed what is happening -- we're getting
different build-ids because the paths to the source files (to be stored
in the debug info) are different.

I talked with folks on #debian-python, and they said, basically
(paraphrasing):

  Don't worry about the fact that we're shipping two distinct .so's,
  because debian will only release with one version of python anyway.
  It's an artifact that is only relevant for testing, during the
  transition.

So i hope my public diagnosis of this concern didn't scare people off of
this patch.  We should apply it and ship it in debian.
