Thanks for this analysis. It looks like the best approach would be to
add a Build-Depends on python-setuptools (to ensure it _always_ rather
than accidentally happens, and because it seems to be the preferred
approach from the setup.py file), and delete the symlink from -1 in
the preinst of the replacement package?
That should do the trick.
A build-conflicts would be much better.
Like Julien, I'm not an enthusiast of setuptools; but I'd rather avoid
build-conflicting with packages that are commonly installed on users'
systems. Instead, I would patch setup.py to never import setuptools.
