Please don't mess up the distribution for packaging systems by changing
to non-standard interfaces.  The right thing to do for a program is
first to install all dependencies, and then to build and install the
program.  python seems to have this halfway scheme which is troublesome,
but that should be addressed in instructions to people who want to build
tahoe from source but who at the same time do not have enough python
development experience to do so correctly.
