Actually, I'm not sure that anything needs to happen at the upstream
level... pkg_resources is part of setuptools, we have packaged it
separately but I believe that there's no way for us to track its usage
based on upstream dependencies so we must always manually add such a
depency (this really smells like a big deficiency in our packaging tools).
Am I correct?
Should upstream list setuptools in their requirements.txt or setup.py
because they use "pkg_resources"?
Cheers,
