They aren't shipped in the .deb, so the list of files shipped in the .deb 
shouldn't include them.

No  I don't think they should be.  There's no need for that and it may change.  
Then you have a maintenance nightmare.  Currently we have both python3.4 and 
python3.5 as supported versions so as part of installation *.cpython-34.pyc 
and *.cpython-35.pyc are generated on the local file system.  As the python3 
versions change, those will change and Python knows how to deal with that as 
long as the .py files are present.
