Hi guys!,

First of all, thanks MrElending and Shani, i've recently released
python-setuptools package on [testing] the transition should not be so
painful, but still we need to rebuild a list of python packages pointing
them to setuptools instead of distribute. Because of that I delayed a
little bit the update because we had a lot of rebuilds pending and I
didn't wanted to have this rebuild list in the middle of the others.

Please test the package, and thanks again for the long waiting and your
support ;)
