Something prompted by the setuptools merge, and its impact on pip. Does Python's packaging metadata need a way of declaring in a package that it is a merge of (two or more) other packages?
Obviously this is a rare scenario, but it's painful when it occurs (how can a tool know that setuptools 0.7 is a later version of distribute than 0.6.36?)
