I need to research it. The change won't be free, as the debian tooling (python-support) expects it to be called setup.py. I need to find a workaround, but can't do it right now.

I am going to mark this bug closed.
Terry's recent changes allow pip to use setup.py, and warns otherwise. This seems like a good compromise.
