Setuptools doesn't install the command, it just records entry point
metadata. The installer (pip, presumably?) creates the wrapper. The
name of the wrapper file that gets installed is technically recorded
in the installed files metadata (for use by pip uninstall) but there's
no information recording the link between the entry point and the
file.
