I have found distutils to be lacking substantially support for 
non-trivial features. In particular, for python extension building I 
completely abandoned the idea of using the standard build_ext command. 
(In my own project I have replaced build_ext by my own version...)
AFAIK distutils isn't developed (or even maintained) any more, so you 
may have little luck finding answers to your questions on any list.

The simplest way to figure out why distutils behaves the way it does, 
and how to work around its limitations, may be by reading the distutils 
code.

Good luck,
       Stefan
