One of the motivations for deprecating this (and for using this

Debian, said he never uses bdist_rpm.
Given that Debian doesn't use RPMs, isn't that expected?
I'm actually in favor of removing the bdist_* from the standard
library, and allowing 3rd-party tools to implement whatever they need
for the distros. But I don't think what you're presenting there
supports it.
