The other way would be to use Distribute instead of Setuptools for

Interesting. Gentoo uses distribute but retains the name 'setuptools'?

  DEPEND="!!<dev-python/setuptools-0.6.3-r2"

Ah. But what if PJE releases setuptools with the *same* version number 0.6.3? What would the gentoo folks do in order to get the new setuptools release in their packaging system? Or did they make a decision of totally dropping setuptools from their repository?
