This is a pretty old bug and setuptools has come a long way since then. Also, distribute was re-merged back into setuptools, so it's not even a thing any more. I'm unassigning from myself. I don't think this is something that Ubuntu should drive. Best to engage upstream setuptools, if it's still a problem.
