Oh... so what about this:

- PyPI publishes setuptools metadata, but in Metadata 1.2 format. The
conversion is pretty simple, it's just translating the requires.txt
into PEP 345 fields.
- We add a marker so we know that those metadata are from setuptools

That way, PyPI has an unified interface to get the dependencies, and
if there's an issue in project X because the static metadata fails on
platform Y, we ask the project to provide real PEP 345 metadata.
