I kinda assumed. I can't believe no attempt was made to fix that stuff in the last 10 
years or more :) . Found a very old bug. Closed.

Perhaps a temporary solution could be to implement both (scripts, console_scripts) for 
setuptools and THEN try to upstream the parts that make sense for distutils too. Being 
able to show it works and is backwards compatible could help the case.

I guess i will give that a try.
