Hi Andreas, Gordon sent this to the debian-science-sagemath list but I think
you're not subscribed:

I think I encountered this one trying to build the package on ubuntu
xenial. If I remember correctly the solution was to backport
python{,3}-setuptools >= 28 (~bpo8 currently has 20), although I can't
now find a relevant setuptools bug.
(You can find my backport PPA with hopefully a sufficient list of
packages at [1]).

I myself have not seen the issue you're describing. Since it does seem to be in
python's setuptools script, you could try inserting pdb breakpoints in various
places:
https://docs.python.org/2/library/pdb.html
I could also try this some time. Do you have a command line I can run to build
a jessie-backports schroot, or whatever it is that you're doing?
