python-setuptools in RHEL-5.2

["Konstantin Ryabitsev" <icon fedoraproject org>]

Hi, everyone:

I'm current maintainer of python-setuptools in Fedora, and also in
EPEL. Seeing as (an older version) of python-setuptools is now also
provided by RHEL-5.2, I'm a bit confused as to what the procedure
should be for updating the package in EPEL. I believe the policy is
that no package in EPEL should be clashing with RHEL proper, but what
to do when "we were there first?"

I'm sure this won't be a unique case.

Looking for guidance.
