In my opinion its not really a cause, how else would you do that? We
are dealing with packages, I don't see another way to install the
packages if not manually poking with easy-install.pth.

Sure, but the only way around that I see is manually creating the
easy-install.pth, or figure out a way to tel setuptools to,
regardless.
