Can you explain this a little more?  It sounds like you're installing
python modules with pip, but then you say you're not.

Adding a 'Conflicts' may be the right answer here.. however I wasn't able
to reproduce this.  Here are my results on a brand new trusty install.

Title:
  ubuntu cloud archive repo includes python-setuptools package that
  breaks with trusty version of python-pip

Status in Ubuntu Cloud Archive:
  New

Bug description:
  When we install python-setuptools from the cloud repo, it is too new
  to work with the version of python-pip that is included with trusty
  (as can be seen with `pip freeze`). If we then manually install a
  newer version of pip with easy_install it works fine.

  ```
  # dpkg -l | egrep 'python-(pip|setuptools)'
  ii  python-pip                          1.5.4-1ubuntu3                   all          alternative Python package installer

  ii  python-setuptools                   18.4-1~cloud0                    all          Python Distutils Enhancements

  ```

  ```
