Comment (by daira):

 That seems to work (that is, it gives a list of `Requirement` objects
 corresponding to `install_requires`). So it's a valid alternative approach
 to what we have now, but I'm not sure it actually helps all that much. We
 Don't Repeat Ourselves already -- this would just mean we could choose to
 move the definition of `install_requires` to `setup.py`, say, which
 wouldn't by itself reduce complexity.
