You might be interested to learn more about pkgme
(https://launchpad.net/pkgme). It is designed as a generic shell for
various packaging plugins. One of the first plugins that AFAIK was
created was one that creates proper packaging for python+distutils.
I'm CCing upstream author (James Westby) perhaps he would be interested
to know more about this.
