Control: reassign -1 python-pip-whl Control: found -1 python-pip-whl/1.5.6-2

So, it looks like the story is: 1. Debian patched setuptools/distribute to not include the Python version in egg-info dirs. There is no bug I can see that tracks this. 2. pip then implemented the same mangling, after un-installation trouble was reported in #562544. 3. pip upstream implemented a workaround, themselves https://github.com/pypa/pip/commit/0d60e37273c587237cd2f0678ecf19005d49cea7 and filed #618367 about Debian's original patch. This bug arises because the setuptools patch from 1 doesn't mangle the name, inside a virtualenv, but the pip patch from 2 does. And the solution in 3 was masked by the patch in 2. So, my solution to this is to drop Debian's patch to pip.
