We've gone back and forth about whether our packages will require setuptools over the last few days. I thought that we'd removed the requirement (by making sure that the /usr/bin/tahoe that is installed into the debian package is not the same as the setuptools-generated "entry point" script), and so I removed the Depends: line from the debian/control file. However, our _auto_deps.py attempts to import setuptools because it is present in the setuptools-oriented list of dependencies, and that of course fails on systems without it.

Zooko and I think we can remove a lot of the code in _auto_deps.py now.

I can't exactly remember the discussion right now, but I'm going to add 'python-setuptools' back into the debian dependencies (expressed in misc/*/debian/control), so that installing tahoe also gets you setuptools. I'm not sure if this is strictly necessary, but I think it can help more than it will hurt.

added, in changeset:773e9abe2462b576. Note that it was already in the build-time dependencies, but it was not present in the install-time dependencies until changeset:773e9abe2462b576.
