   - The maintainer rebuild rules for Makefiles and aclocal.m4 in Automake's
     own build system works correctly again.
 
+* Long-standing bugs:
+
+  - The default installation location for python modules has been improved
+    for Python 3 on Debian and Ubuntu systems, changing from:
+
+        ${prefix}/lib/python3/dist-packages
+
+    to
+
+        ${prefix}/lib/python3.x/site-packages
+
+    This change should ensure modules installed using the default ${prefix}
+    "/usr/local" are found by default by system python 3.x installations.
