I'd be more concerned about adding some Debian/Ubuntu special code to setup.py
if it wasn't already a rats nest of specialization.  

$ grep darwin setup.py | wc -l
41

Not to mention the checks for osf1, unixware7, and openunix8 (!).  It's a
little ugly trying to run dpkg-architecture on every platform, but I'm not
sure anything better can be done, and of course it only needs to run it once.

I'm going to apply the patch to Python 2.7, 3.1, 3.2, and 3.3 tomorrow.

Cheers,
