All you've said here is "python packaging sucks", with no explanation why, and with no alternative. Not a substantial comment, and I'm disappointed that it's been voted to the top.

I'd ask for your reasoning but it seems sametmax has done a good job of that for you:

Comments that make a single unambiguous point are fine. It's no problem to leave detailed support to replies.

A more controversial statement with the same content probably wouldn't have been voted up, but thread parent is objectively true even though it doesn't contain its own proof.
