Debian adds a custom sysconfig scheme to system python installs,
"posix_local". This is the default scheme, and it redirects local users'
Python module installs to /usr/local even though Python is installed with a
/usr prefix. Both are on Debian's python's sys.path module search
path.

Autoconf and its users understand prefixes, and are likely to select
/usr/local, explicitly. Select the "posix_prefix" scheme, with the
user-supplied prefix.

Previously this custom sysconfig scheme was specified in distutils.sysconfig,
but not sysconfig itself. As distutils is being deprecated, the custom scheme
is now specified in sysconfig, since
Debian's Python 3.10 (3.10.2-4).
