The reason why it wasn't working, was that in setup.py, setuptools was 
activated only conditionally. That in itself isn't a problem.

But when not activated (hence using distutils), it was feeding 
setuptools' setup arguments to distutils' setup. And that is quite 
wrong, because what is "install_requires" for one is "requires" for the 
other!

So the solution was just :
-install_requires = setuptools_args['install_requires'] = [
+setup_args['requires'] = setuptools_args['install_requires'] = [

which I put in a proper Debian patch, and forwarded upstream (which was 
traitlets... part of the Jupyter project where I'm sure I'll have to 
report the same for at least half of the packages!).

Thanks,
