 With the patch, this is now behaving exactly as designed. However, the
 specific case of "{{{import setuptools}}}" giving {{{distribute}}} faked
 to look like setuptools 0.6, is common enough (and reasonably harmless
 enough) that we should perhaps special-case it to suppress the warning. It
 would also be nice if the {{{-version[-and-path]}}} output were to report
 that the imported setuptools is actually distribute.
