I have no problem with distlib on the principle. However, if I were the packaging BDFL, my decision would be "integrate it all in distutils" :-) By the way, if you want to help with hg.python.org and manage the distlib repo there, you can send an email on http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/infrastructure and ask for ssh access to the virtual machine.
