Bug Description

When using GSettings in an ubuntu-application app, the application runs fine when run via "quickly run" from the source directory. But when running the app installed from a quickly-generated package, it fails with this message:

GLib-GIO-ERROR **: Settings schema 'net.launchpad.yourapp' is not installed

It seems like the schema files are installed into the wrong location: While other schema files are installed into "/usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/", quickly installs the schemas into "/usr/share/yourapp/glib-2.0/schemas/".

I guess this issue should be handled in python-distutils-extra? I added a pretty simple function to DistUtilsExtra/auto.py that seems to do the job. Feedback appreciated (actually, this is the first time I publish a bugfix branch).
