My suggestion would be for bootstrap.py to include the code in ez_setup.py,

the standard library includes modules to download packages from PyPI and
install them. But what to do in the meantime?
zc.buildout uses setuptools. it's hardcoded and it's deeper than bootstrap.py.
Changing this properly requires quite some work.
Not that much, as you already know, as I've already done the majority of
this on a branch. Hopefully I'll get to look at this again soon, and the
bugs I hit might well be solved now that Distribute is more mature...
We need to leave this alone and provide a distribute bootstrap.py
that does some extra things to make zc.buildout work with it.
Hacking around like this seems sub optimal to me.
A specific bootstrap.py script for distribute is possible, and I
happen to have it finished now :
$ wget http://ziade.org/bootstrap.py
I'll certainly try this out, but I'm not using buildout trunk anywhere.
Does it work with the current released version of buildout?
