Wow. I’m amazed to see that the majority of commands don’t even bother with 
dry-run. I’m changing the component to distutils2: This is between bug fix and 
new feature, your report is the first one, and it’s easier to hack on 
distutils2. When this is fixed, I’ll ask Tarek if we should backport it to 
distutils (probably not).

I’m adding the easy keyword to indicate that writing tests for the --dry-run 
behavior could be done by a beginner during a sprint or bug day.
