- Buildroot packages python_fuse and python are selected in menuconfig.
- Buildroot builds successfully.
- from buildroot dir: make python-clean
- from buildroot dir: make python-fuse-clean

This command fails with:

baud@galway:~/sandbox/WatsonEFM/WatsonEFMPlugin/trunk/src/base/buildroot$ make python-fuse-clean
cd /home/baud/sandbox/WatsonEFM/WatsonEFMPlugin/trunk/src/base/buildroot/build_arm/python-fuse-2.5; \

'import site' failed; use -v for traceback
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "setup.py", line 7, in ?
    from distutils.core import setup, Extension
ImportError: No module named distutils.core
make: *** [python-fuse-clean] Error 1

REMARK: from buildroot dir: "make clean" fails for the same reason: python_clean called before python_fuse_clean.

PROPOSED FIX: when python_fuse package configured, make python_clean dependent on python_fuse_clean.
