Bug#732421: python-zc.buildout: requires setuptools>=0.7 which is not in wheezy

[Gediminas Paulauskas]

Buildout itself does not require a newer version of setuptools, 0.6c11 is
enough. But the init command bootstraps a new buildout by downloading the
newest version of distribute and this fails. This started happening when
setuptools/distribute merged and setuptools 0.7 was released.

buildout init only creates an empty buildout.cfg file. It's not very useful.

The recommended way is to write the buildout.cfg, create a virtualenv and
bootstrap a self-contained buildout:

  virtualenv sandbox
  wget http://downloads.buildout.org/1/bootstrap.py
  python bootstrap.py
  bin/buildout

I never use the system buildout.
