So technically it's ensurepip that's broken by default, but that
translates to venv also being broken by default.

I haven't worked out what the actual steps needed to fix it are


On Debian, ensurepip  is in the python3.5-venv package.

Unfortunately there isn't (AFAIK) a meta-package which just says
"stop fooling around and just give me everything from the python.org
distribution, d*mmit."
