Note that distribute has the same bug, which I reported here:

[Distutils] [issue142] easy_install ignores 'headers' passed to setup()

[Tres Seaver]

New submission from Tres Seaver :

A bare distutils install of a package with 'headers' passed to 'setup()'
dispatches to 'install_headers', which copies the exported header files
into the system include path.

'easy_install' bypasses the distutils 'install()' when doing a normal
egg install, and does not re-implement the 'install_headers' dance.

Furthermore, the 'bdist_egg' it creates, even though it contains the
header files, has no metadata which would allow the installer to
discover that they should be copied.
