Having more competition will also help, e.g. ActiveState's PyPM looks promising (provided they choose to open-source it) and then there's pip. Note that both PyPM and pip use setuptools as an important piece of their implementation (as does buildout), so they are technically the competition of easyinstall, rather than setuptools per se. IOW, putting setuptools in the stdlib wouldn't be declaring a victor in the installation tools competition, it'd simply be providing infrastructure for (present and future) tools to build on.
I'm sure that some implementation of some of the concepts of setuptools will end up in the stdlib - in a well-integrated and distutils compatible form.
Perhaps we can even find a way to remove the need for .pth files and long sys.path lists :-)
