Okay, PJE explained on the setuptools issue tracker that the .egg-info
file needs to be in the sys.path.  Currently the .egg-info file in the
Debian/Ubuntu package is located in:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ dpkg --listfiles python-nevow | grep -i egg
/usr/share/python-support/python-nevow/Nevow-0.9.26.egg-info

But /usr/share/python-support/python-nevow is not in the sys.path.
Therefore setuptools doesn't see the .egg-info file when it searches the
sys.path. so it doesn't think that Nevow is installed.
