 debian: add a distutils option --install-layout=deb
 This option:
  - installs into $prefix/dist-packages instead of $prefix/site-packages.
  - doesn't encode the python version into the egg name.
 .
 We install modules into dist-packages so that a local admin can build their
 own cpython from source, and they won't see each others' installed modules.
 This keeps Debian packaged applications working correctly, isolated from the
 local cpython.
 .
 Customize site.py to import from Debian's dist-packages layout.

 configure linking for c-library wrapping modules
 Use the system C libraries, rather than sources bundled with cPython, or

 This is for performance, to avoid unnecessary C extension imports at start-up.

 ubuntu: support separate langpack packages
 Support alternative gettext tree in /usr/share/locale-langpack; if a file is
 present in both trees, prefer the newer one.
 Ubuntu collates gettext from packages on the DVD into language packs, to
 reduce disk-space on the image.
 This is Ubuntu-Specific.

 debian: don't autodetect whether semephores are present

 [patch] strip absolute --libdir paths from configure args in
 test_freeze

We are trying to install into a prefix, any absolute path would not
necessarily be writeable. e.g. if Python is configured with
--libdir=/usr/lib/$(MULTIARCH)/ during a Debian build.

 [patch 1/3] gh-122917 allow stable api extensions to include a
 multiarch tuple in the filename

This permits stable ABI extensions for multiple architectures to be
co-installed into the same directory, without clashing with each other,
the same way (non-stable ABI) regular extensions can.

It is listed below the current .abi3 suffix because setuptools will
select the first suffix containing .abi3, as the target filename.
We do this to protect older Python versions predating this patch.

 [patch] gh-127545: add _py_aligned_def(n, t) and use it for pyobject
 (GH-135209)
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

* Replace _Py_ALIGN_AS(V) by _Py_ALIGNED_DEF(N, T)

This is now a common faade for the various `_Alignas` alternatives,
which behave in interesting ways -- see the source comment.

The new macro (and MSVC's `__declspec(align)`) should not be used
on a variable/member declaration that includes a struct declaraton.
A workaround is to separate the struct definition.
Do that for `PyASCIIObject.state`.

* Specify minimum PyGC_Head and PyObject alignment

As documented in InternalDocs/garbage_collector.md, the garbage collector
stores flags in the least significant two bits of the _gc_prev pointer
in struct PyGC_Head. Consequently, this pointer is only capable of storing
a location that's aligned to a 4-byte boundary.

Encode this requirement using _Py_ALIGNED_DEF.
