In this case, which I suspect is extremely rare anyway, you'll need to

So, in *any* of these cases, specifying setuptools as a requirement
seems like a total waste of time...
Now, what case have I missed? ;-)
It's nice for people creating system packages when you specify all of the
packages that your runtime depends on in setup.py.
...except that it causes problems that are a bit more serious than "nice
to have" because of the ridiculous situation we're in with setuptools
and distribute...
