Subject: don't use ez_setup

Debian packages aren't supposed to download stuff while building, and
since the version of setuptools in stable is less than the one ez_setup
wants, and since some system python packages don't ship their .egg-info
directories, it might try.

It's ok though, we can rely on the Depends and Build-Depends for making
sure python-setuptools and the various other deps are around at the right
times.
