chapter 4 talks about source packages, not binary packages.  And these
have to be rebuilt from source.  At least the windows installer binaries
don't have any source code.

That would mean, using another copy of the pip & friends sources, and
having different pip versions on the system.

3) Leave ensurepip broken and make myself and lots of Python developers
sad ;(

Sure.

So why not build the wheel files from the Debian python-pip source
package, build-depending on python-six, python-requests, etc, then
revert the de-vendorize patch.  The binary package should have Built-
Using information about these build dependencies.   Then provide exactly
this wheel in the python-pip and the python3-pip packages.

  Hello,

  I noticed the following

  # fails
  python3.4 -m venv --clear python-venv
  Error: Command '['.../external/python-venv/bin/python3.4', '-Im', 'ensurepip', '--upgrade', '--default-pip']' returned non-zero exit status 1

  # works, but no pip
  python3.4 -m venv --clear --without-pip python-venv

  Thank you
