Yes, it's a common problem with python packages. This should be largely
fixed by the new python build system however.

Wrt the patch, setuptools is not required for the python3 variant. But
since it will no longer be required for python2 either after the new
build system, I think it's okay to keep it for now, since it would
complicate the patch a lot.

LGTM.
