I still have some messages in my inbox from a couple of the Python/Debian maintainers. Note there is a mailing list debian-python@lists.debian.org which would probably be a good source of wisdom; I thoroughly approve of (and encourage) cross-posting between debian-python and distutils-sig. What the hell, I'll go ahead and cross-post this one, so we can find out if any of the Debian Python maintainers have done anything more than make Debian packages of the Distutils. If nothing else, we might end up making their lives a lot easier. strongly-approve-of-debian-in-principle-but-was-thoroughly-mystified- by-dselect-the-one-time-i-tried-it...
