It's becoming quite common now. Anything that doesn't use setuptools
won't have setup.* files. And now that there are options besides
setuptools, people are switching to them.

Sensible build systems divide the frontend (CLI and developer tools)
from the backend (PEP-517 API), so that only the latter is needed at
build time (and in Debian).  But yes, I expect a bit of an explosion in
PEP-517 backends in the archive.  And none of them are particularly
stable, yet. Lots of churn.
