Oh, certainly it's useful for someone running the commands interactively:

    $ python ./setup.py --cover-html

But not set in the configuration for the package for all builds (even
non-interactive builds), which is what this bug report is for.

The ‘setup.cfg’ for a distribution should only set those options which make
sense for *every* ‘./setup.py’ invocation of that distribution
<URL:http://docs.python.org/2/distutils/configfile.html>, letting the user
choose other options on a per-run basis.
