This is quite an uninformed opinion, but a relocatable RECORD looks like a can of worms to me. As for creating RECORD at install time, I don't understand the argument about duplicate code. Distutils can provide useful primitives for generating RECORD, so that interested subcommands don't have a lot of additional work to do.
