This breaks current projects.
We don't have time right now to update to buildout 2.x.
A workaround is to patch the v1 bootstrap with:

distribute_source = 
'https://bitbucket.org/pypa/setuptools/raw/f657df1f1ed46596d236376649c99a470662b4ba/distribute_setup.py'

Maybe that should get into http://downloads.buildout.org/1/bootstrap.py
