Bug Description

After installing the calendarserver package, the python file "bootstrapdatabase.py"[0] fails to run due to it referencing an invalid file path. This invalid file path is defined on line 28 of "bootstrapdatabase.py":

SCHEMAFILE = "/usr/share/pyshared/txdav/common/datastore/sql_schema/current.sql"

The path "/usr/share/pyshared/txdav" does not exist. The correct path for "current.sql" is actually:
/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/txdav/common/datastore/sql_schema/current.sql

Further information:
1) System version: Ubuntu 14.04 LTS
2) calendarserver version: 5.2+dfsg-1
3) I expected "bootstrapdatabase.py" to execute successfully.
4) "bootstrapdatabase.py" failed to run due to a file it references not existing. See above for the specifics.

[0] /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/calendarserver/tools/bootstrapdatabase.py

The (faulty) path is introduced in "debian/patches/debianize-bootstrapdatabase.py.patch". The path should not be hard-coded it should be calculated at runtime to accommodate the package-install-time path translation from "/usr/share/pyshared to "/usr/lib/pythonX.Y/"

I can confirm this latest patch works. When executed, bootstrapdatabase.py can correctly locate the schema file.
