New submission from Éric Araujo <mer...@netwok.org>:

The whole point of naming distutils2 “packaging” in the standard library is to 
avoid name conflicts in case someone wants to import a distutils2 version from 
site-packages that’s newer than the packaging version in the standard library.  
However the main command-line entry point, the pysetup script, has a 
conflicting name: both packaging and distutils2 use it.

I don’t have an elegant solution to that; suggestions welcome.
