Comment (by davidsarah):

 This problem has been exacerbated by
 [https://bugs.launchpad.net/pycrypto/+bug/620253 this bug in PyCrypto 2.2]
 (fixed in 2.3). If we were to bump the !PyCrypto version requirement in
 [source:_auto_deps.py] to 2.3, systems with no compiler would fail to
 upgrade, even if they already had a working !PyCrypto egg (say 2.0.1 or
 2.1, which are downloadable from
 http://www.voidspace.org.uk/python/modules.shtml#pycrypto ).

 Even if we don't bump the version requirement, a user whose system has no
 working compiler may run into http://bugs.python.org/setuptools/issue83
 (this happened to bj0). #717 and #1015 are also contributing factors here.
