Probably only with enough volunteers to fix upstream and/or provide patches to
the Debian and/or Ubuntu packages. It's always better to fix things as far
upstream as possible of course.

We can't restore PIL.pth because of the relative imports in Pillow, but my
branch (see merge proposal) does add a new compatibility binary package. We'd
still have to patch the Ubuntu/Debian packages to Depend on the compat
package, but that's not too much work.
