I wonder if would help if we were to add a vendor-packages directory where distros can put their own selection of 3rd party stuff they depend on, to be searched before site-packages, and a command-line switch that ignores site-package but still searches vendor-package. (-S would almost do it but probably suppresses too much.)

Patch #1298835 implements such a vendor-packages directory. I have reopened the patch to reconsider it. I take your message as a +1 for that feature.
