Ok I have submitted a patch here http://bugs.python.org/setuptools/issue32

I have added a test where I played with two indexes: Pypi and another custom
one, that hold a package version
PyPI don't.

I changed the code accordingly,  and recorded all urllib2.urlopen
input/output into a mapping saved in a shelve file,
so the test can work without external calls. (maybe this could be pushed in
a  helper in the sandbox)

I have also added a deprecation warning, but I don't know if this is
something you want..

I have tested it successfully with several buildouts and I will test it more
this week, together with your latest bug fixes.
