This is a dangerous practice from ore than one point of view:
1) it may pollute the system with non-DFSG-compliant stuff
2) as a both python developer and debian user and developer I DO NOT want
software to download and run stuff without my knowledge and explicit consent
It does neither; you have to explicitly be using easy_install or setup.py
to get any download-and-run behavior.
Now, it's possible for an individual coder to write an application or
library that invokes easy_install itself, but anybody can write bad code
and that's what you have a QA process for, no?
