Hi Debian (2022.01.11_18:25:06_-0400)
> 3. Optional new binary packages for Python 2.7:
> - python-pip-whl from python2-pip.
> - python-setuptools-whl from python-setuptools.
> + Including pkg_resources in the setuptools wheel.
Actually, those should probably be python2-pip-whl and
python2-setuptools-whl, to be abundandly clear that they are for 2.7 and
not reuse the python-pip-whl package name.
Updated python-setuptools patch attached.
