I think there are 2 options:

1) upgrade to the nascent stdeb 0.4. It doesn't call setup.py with the
--single-version-externally-managed argument.

2) inherit from setuptools' install command.

I would suggest option 1. If you need me to make a release, I'm happy to
do so -- but maybe that will be better after it has bdist_deb? :)
