To review, Setup-Requires-Dist (only installed for setup.py to run,
called build requirements in some systems) is a completely different
feature than Provides-Extra (for example when code uses 'try: import
somepackage; except: don't offer a feature; called optional_features
in CPAN; similar to Debian 'Suggests' dependencies).
