[Python-modules-team] Bug#959997: Acknowledgement (python-pip-whl: pip incorrectly tries to build wheels in virtualenvs without wheel package)

[Nikhil Benesch]

I noticed a possible validation of the proposed solution. Upstream does
not include "wheel" in the list of packages that need to be vendored [0].
(But there is an over-selective glob that implicitly and inadvertently adds
wheel.whl to the path [1]).
