How would that work exactly.  I.e. is there a PEP?

While I think it could be a good idea to bundle (more?) third party packages
for a variety of reasons, I want to make sure it's done in a way that's still
friendly to downstream repackagers, as I'm sure you do to. :)

For Debian/Ubuntu, we already have some additional machinations to make
ensurepip and such work properly in a distro packaging environment.  We'd want
to be able to do the same for any bundled packages as well.
