So both the abstract build system PEP and donalds setup.py interface depend on having a bootstrap dependency list written into a file in the source tree.
your build PEP said stuff like this "Additional data *may* be included, but the ``build_requires`` and ``metadata_version`` keys must be present"
that leads me to think you need more than just this specification of a single dependency.
Thats the next layer up - and if we adopt the egg-info-as-carrier
format we don't need to issue a new PEP. I've yet to look closely. But
any which way, it doesn't affect this PEP, and this PEP acts as a
robust building block.
