All of Debian's deltas from upstream pip are here: https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/python-modules/packages/python-pip.git/tree/debian/patches We also have a somewhat more elaborate machinery to unbundle packages using a tool called dirtbike to turn installed (at build time) packages into wheels. That's a separate issue I'd be happy to talk more about. In any case, to the extend that we can upstream the more generally useful bits, or at least share behavior so users will have a similar experience on both ecosystems, I'd be happy to help represent Debian. Probably not much will change there until after the upcoming release though, since the archive is currently frozen. Cheers, -Barry
