Yep, let's get an MBF in place for this. The BTS with usertags (or the 
BTS view through UDD with usertags) is a much better way of tracking a 
todo list at this stage.

I'm not sure if there is a published deprecation timeline for "setup.py 
test", but given the number of nasty surprises we've had from setuptools 
over the last year with their current break-it-and-see-who-complains 
development paradigm, let's assume the worst.

Given it's not currently broken, I guess it would start with 
severity:important and become severity:serious once setuptools stops 
supporting this?

Assuming that we're not going to suddenly get a breaking setuptools 
before bookworm, the MBF text should have a note that this will not 
become serious before the release of bookworm. (Do we know if that is true?)
