[Bug 2006925] [NEW] python architecture-dependant packages installed incorrectly

[Ilya Kondrashkin]

Public bug reported:

postinst script in python2 packages generates __init__.py files for namespace packages.
Since version 5.20211016 (commit 08ab39dfd34accb9220a087832b121279bbd9d98) arch is appended to package name to postinst script. However pycompile can't find namespace file with such package name -> namespace packages cannot be used in python2 (and python << 3.3).

** Affects: dh-python (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: New
