FWIW, I think such an installer should package up all the libraries in 
one Debian package, I imagine laid out something like:

   /usr/lib/some-pylons-app/lib/python/(bunch of eggs)

Installing something in /usr/bin/some-pylons-app that sets up sys.path. 
  This is similar to workingenv, but would be slightly different; you 
can pretty much manage it with setuptools options, plus a modified 
script.  If there are libraries packaged already as Debian packages, 
you'd probably want to use the Debian package version.  But I don't 
think it's worth making separate packages for each library unless many 
applications  use that library, and the library is stable enough that 
conflicts are unlikely.  Mako, for instance, would not be a good candidate.

I use workingenv and a workingenv requirements file, and some shell 
scripts to do the setup from there.
