There's a PEP to get a part of it right [1] - at least the installation of dependencies and the need for virtualenv side, but atm the packaging nonsense is still as bad as it always has been.

Sample comment from its discussion:

>> Are pip maintainers on board with this? > Personally, no. I like the idea in principle, but in practice, as you say, it seems like a pretty major change in behaviour and something I’d expect to be thrashed out in far more detail before assuming it’ll “just happen”.

As if the several half-arsed official solutions already existing around packaging (the several ways to build and create packages) had deep thinking and design behind them...
