Python module packages that don't bytecompile on installation?

Hi all,

I run adequate on my system, which means I notice when Python module
packages don't bytecompile when they are installed. So far I've just
been ignoring the warnings that adequate prints.

https://salsa.debian.org/debian/adequate

In addition I noticed:

 * some Python modules on my system weren't bytecompiled but did
   bytecompile when I reinstalled them (blinker for example)
 * many of the Python modules on my system don't bytecompile their test
   directories (django for example)
 * relatively few packages I have installed don't bytecompile when I
   ignore test paths (lib2to3, tk, uno, distutils)

Some questions:

Should all module packages bytecompile?

Should all module packages bytecompile all their directories?

What are the downsides when module packages don't bytecompile?

What are the downsides when module packages do bytecompile?

Do we need a lintian complaint about this issue?

Do we need any improvements in how module packages bytecompile?
For example using triggers instead of postinst scriptlets.

Any other thoughts?
