This affects me as well; there are a number of build tools and test
environments I maintain and/or use which assume the availability of
easy_install if python-setuptools is installed.
Outside of this issue, the only helpful documentation I could find was
on Stack Exchange:
Having `easy_install` available (or something similar) is likely an
ongoing need for at least one reason. If a user wants their system to
stay on the latest/upstream version of pip, one sensible way of doing

path. This works for
The changelog for this package states that it the easy_install scripts
were removed, as of:
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/python-setuptools/39.0.1-2
No rationale is given for the removal, or any suggestion of what users
should be expected to do instead.
