I really have no idea how this ought to be done, but here's my way of
doing it;) If it fries your hard disk, don't blame me. Also if anyone
has any additions/corrections, let me know.
For example upstream converted python-pullparser package to setuptools
between 0.0.6 and 0.0.7. At the time we only had setuptools version
0.6a8-0.1, so I had to patch the setup.py to remove setuptools (which
is similar to your kid patch):

Now that setuptools 0.6a9-1 I can remove that patch, and patch my rules
