Can anyone explain the two different "default" installations I got? It seems to me I should force the Ubuntu-style installation by the "--with-universal-archs=64-bit" configure option, and I will try that on Debian while I await expert help.
I think "universal arch" builds only apply under OS X where they produce fat binaries.
Under 64-bit Linux, you can compile either a 64-bit executable (the default) or a 32-bit executable (by specifying e.g. CC="gcc -m32" to the configure script).
However, the /usr/local/lib{,64}/python2.7 issue is a bit different, since those directories can host architecture independent files (such as .py and .pyc files). For example, on my Mandriva install, the 64-bit Python executable can import packages from both /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/ and /usr/lib64/python2.6/site-packages/.

Antoine.
