According to [1], setup() in distutils.core (which is the distribution
module in the Python standard library, at least for Python 2.7) has no
entry_points argument.  Do you mean the setup from setuptools, which is
not in the standard library but is an external package?  Does dh_python2
depend on setuptools?  If so, why is that not stated in the manpage or
other documentation?

I'm sorry if I sound exasperated - it's because I am.  I find the
pervasive confusion on this point somewhat galling.  As another example,
the manpage says:

    dh_python2 tries to translate Python dependencies from requires.txt
    file to Debian dependencies.

What is this requires.txt file?  Again, no mention of it in [1], which
instead mandates that dependencies be specified with the requires=
keyword argument to setup().
