I’m afraid that won’t work: depending on how python3 is installed, it may 
install both pysetup3.3 and pysetup3, so distutils2-python3 can’t use any of 
these names.

Note that on Debian and probably other systems, two packages really cannot use 
the same file path without using some machinery; just overwriting something is 
not permitted.

(On a related topic, I’m not sure distutils2 should ever install pysetup or 
pysetup3 without version number: contrary to e.g. a mail client where I don’t 
care about the version used, this is a version-specific program that should 
have a version number in its name.)

The problem really is that when we talk about “the 3.3 version of pysetup” we 
may talk about the one that comes with packaging or with d2.
