Title:
  distutils.sysconfig.get_python_inc() does not include arch specific
  directory, causing FTBFS

Status in “calibre” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in “python2.7” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in “python3.3” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Packages like calibre call this to determine the include directory:

  $ python3 -c 'import distutils.sysconfig; print(distutils.sysconfig.get_python_inc())'
  /usr/include/python3.3m

  This does not work any more with the multiarch split, as using this
  directory does not find pyconfig.h; that is shipped in
  /usr/include/x86_64-linux-gnu/python3.3m/ now.

  This is one of several occasions where splitting the include files has
  caused FTBFS. Would it not be cleaner to ship them all in one arch
  specific directory if we really must be able to install -dev for
  several architectures at once?
