virtualenv --system-site-packages (was: PEP 453 affects Debian packaging of Python packages)

Quoting "Barry Warsaw" <barry@python.org>:

Sounds a lot like `virtualenv --system-site-packages` right?


IMHO, --system-site-packages should be the default.
IIRC, it was the default in squeeze (1.4.9),
but is not anymore in wheezy (1.7.1.2). Opinions?
