Great!  I hope you’re aware of previous efforts like stdeb (unfortunately 
requires setuptools) and py2rpm (for rpm systems but some parts can be 
inspiration, like the download code).  I follow debian-python so we may 
encounter each other there.

I wonder why you need to compare versions from different projects.  What is 
“it” in “it broke”?  If it’s a regular distutils command, please paste the full 
command and log; if you meant you used the LooseVersion class in your code, 
then I’m afraid I will say this won’t be fixed: this is not a public class.  
distutils2.version however does contain a public class that implements PEP 386; 
even if the project is still in alpha (and I want to make a few renamings and 
API changes), you can still use it (and when I break your code a quick look at 
the CHANGES file will help you update).
