Comment(by clepple):

 Hmm, OK. I didn't think to try that from the command line, because with
 the packages installed, the change to requires.txt (the one mentioned in
 the original description above) worked when the packages were already
 installed. I guess they must use different parsers that munge the
 underscores to hyphens.

 Odd, I get nearly the same output as your Distribute quote when I use
 setuptools 0.6c11 on Python 2.6:

 {{{
 Searching for twisted-core
 Reading http://pypi.python.org/simple/twisted_core/
 Reading http://twistedmatrix.com/
 No local packages or download links found for twisted-core
 error: Could not find suitable distribution for Requirement.parse
 ('twisted-core')
 }}}

 Maybe this is a bug with Twisted's package descriptions?

 I dunno, I haven't seen any module distribution systems that play well
 with an OS's existing packaging systems. CPAN is another lovely example.

 BTW, should we add a "packaging" keyword to Trac?
