It would be nice if dh auto-detected a setup.py (and/or missing Makefile)

patch for that.
I don;t think it would be a good idea to enable this as default due to
the fun part of setuptools which starts to download random eggs from the
internet when they're not available. My guess would eb that a lot of
packages would miss that and we'd run into failures on the buildds.
Won't it only do that if the package isn't already installed?
Yes, it won't use the network if the required packages are found.
