It's in pkg-plist logic:
"""
%%PYTHON_SITELIBDIR%%/easy-install.pth.dist
@exec if [ ! -f %B/easy-install.pth ]; then cp %B/%f %B/easy-install.pth; fi
"""

easy-install.pth.dist is always installed, and it will be only copied to 
easy-install.pth if there is no one already.

What about easy-install.pth contents is not updated - I need an testing 
environment. Would you describe the steps you did to stick with 
distribute instead of setuptools and I'll try to reproduce?
