Zenoss 1.1 and setuptools

Zenoss announced the release of version 1.1 today. Of course there'd be a new version just 3 days after I installed it! Looks to be very easy: just download the tarball, unpack, and run install.sh. But when I tried that, it died on the version of the python setuptools on the system. The Sarge backports repository only has 0.6a9-0bpo1, while Zenoss 1.1 requires 0.6c1.Luckily, the Python community makes it easy to upgrade, even if it means bypassing Debian's package manager for now. Just download the latest version of ez_setup.py (currently 0.6c5) from the PEAK page, run it, and everything is happy.
