Although packagers should certainly fix the problems they introduce in
the first place, the second suggestion in the bug report would be
useful, independently on how linux distributions package things.

Especially if the data can be obtained for every build (autoconf and
VS-based), this would help packages which use something else than
distutils for their build.
