As I read it, Nick's thought wasn't that distutils2 would help the OP, but that the OP could help Distutils2 and the community by taking his use case to the developers and making sure that that use case is supported before the release of packaging in 3.3.

A little of both, actually. (I don't know either distutils or distutils2 well enough to know precisely what the latter handles better, I just know that it is designed to be easier to extend without being as fragile as custom commands in distutils)

Cheers, Nick.
