Why not use the subpackage approach I suggested ?

It keeps the std lib in a sane state (meaning that the std lib installation only depends on the Python installation and no other hacks on top of it).

Since you'll have to ship the complete package anyway, I don't see any win in installing over the std email package. If that's what you really want, I'd suggest to provide the updated email package as separate download and then test inside Mailman for the new version.
