I agree. These package can be merged as they are. In the patch series we have 3 packages all using different installation methods:

dpkt - uses internal distutils and ships no C code
mad - uses internal distutils but a part of it must be cross-compiled
netifaces - uses setuptools on top of distutils, has C code and uses distutilscross to get the code crosscompiled

in the future there will be one more internal tool ditsutils2 https://bitbucket.org/tarek/distutils2/overview

and Chris Lambacher is going to PyCon with following talk: https://us.pycon.org/2012/schedule/presentation/11/

So we should wait a little till the sings will calm down and then make our decision.

Best regards,
Yegor
