​Unless it's >=1.7.0. You can't blame setuptools having entrypoints for pbr
doing weird stuff to distributions by abusing said entrypoints.

For reference: https://bugs.launchpad.net/pbr/+bug/1483067 ​

There's nothing special about pbr here. It's not like it's the first
package doing dangerous stuff (distribute, suprocess.run, pdbpp). I really
like pdbpp, but you don't put that in production.
