It works for Debian, after all.
It was said that the setuptools stuff could work with simple package index sites using static Web pages, and these could be mirrors of the main package index, but I suppose it's time once again to remind anyone wanting to reinvent package/dependency-management tools to take another look at what's already been done in the domain.
