This affects me as well; there are a number of build tools and test
environments I maintain and/or use which assume the availability of
easy_install if python-setuptools is installed.
Outside of this issue, the only helpful documentation I could find was
on Stack Exchange: https://askubuntu.com/a/

I am affected by this as well. Using EasyBuild which relies on
easy_install command during its installation problem. In 17.10 the cmd
is still there. Worked around it by copying the easy_install cmd from
17.10 (its actually just a short python script) and putting it into the
path. This works for me
Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

Having `easy_install` available (or something similar) is likely an
ongoing need for at least one reason. If a user wants their system to
stay on the latest/upstream version of pip, one sensible way of doing
this is to install the `python-setuptools` package and use
`easy_install` to install `pip`
The changelog for this package states that it the easy_install scripts
were removed, as of:
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/python-setuptools/39.0.1-2
No rationale is given for the removal, or any suggestion of what users
should be expected to do instead.
