The other way would be to use Distribute instead of Setuptools for

Interesting. Gentoo uses distribute but retains the name 'setuptools'?

Ah. But what if PJE releases setuptools with the *same* version number
0.6.3? What would the gentoo folks do in order to get the new
setuptools release in their packaging system? Or did they make a
decision of totally dropping setuptools from their repository?
Debian would probably treat one side or the other as a branch. Sounds
like gentoo has decided that distribute is the main line, which would
define a new release of setuptools as a branch. So it would probably be
something like setuptools-0.6.3pje-r0 or the like. That way it's
progress from 0.6.3, but would be overwritten by a 0.6.4. (Or, they'd
just ignore the pje release).
