On Ubuntu, I accidentally manually installed setuptools

apt to take care of my system Python packages. I also installed one or
two packages using its ``easy_install``.
Looks like it lives in ``/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages``.
How can I manually remove those packages installed using that
``easy_install``, and then manually remove the setuptools package I
installed?
rm -r /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/<egg-directory>
Then find the .pth file (in the site-packages directory) that
references the egg, and delete the line referencing the egg.
Setuptools has no uninstall function, as far as I know.
