No. setuptools(egg) is incompatible with all major distro package system I know of. Just use non-root installation for specific user (but can be run by root to /usr/local/ for sharing access, unless your distro pollute /usr/local)
It is clean, doesn't interfere with your production environment. The -D option or whatever conflict resolving option by setuptools are in general not acceptable for a well maintained system.
