There were a couple of other important changes in this release;
easy_install the *module* is now found under setuptools.command;
This is breaking setuptools upgrades using ez_setup.py. If you run  
the latest ez_setup.py on a system that has a previous version of  
setuptools installed, you get an ImportError:

     Traceback (most recent call last):
       File "ez_setup.py", line 160, in ?
         main(sys.argv[1:])
       File "ez_setup.py", line 149, in main
         from setuptools.command.easy_install import main
     ImportError: No module named easy_install

I was able to get around it with the following patch:

$ diff ez_setup.py{.orig,}
149c149,152
<         from setuptools.command.easy_install import main
---
...
try:
            from setuptools.command.easy_install import main
        except ImportError:
            from easy_install import main
