The .pyc files aren't shipped in the .deb, or they aren't installed
when the .deb is installed?

If they're installed, I think they should be listed.  If not installed
when the package is installed, then they definitely shouldn't be
listed.

I agree that listing them if they aren't installed is wrong.
