please consider that Ubuntu does have some other upgrade issues, when files in
the dpkg database (/var/lib/dpkg/info/*) are corrupted, or just are files
having null bytes.  So these and the pyc issues share in common that these
files are written after a package is unpacked.  I'm not saying that the
problem might be with the pyc writing, but we do see other file corruption as
well.
