Well, I don't see much relevance between the two bugs, to be honest :). I think 
this bug is more of a symptom of a deeper issue with the way distutils is 
installing files.

But the issue is causing repeating issues for our users, and I don't really 
know what is the best way of at least helping our users avoid them.

If there were an agreement that this specific behavior of distutils is 
unintended, we can prepare a patch. I don't really want to diverge from the 
'upstream' behavior in Gentoo just to fix our issue, and I don't really see 
another good way of fixing it.
