The last time I read easy_install code, it would scrape the pages pointed
at by the `Home Page` and `Download URL` fields of pypi. 

Possibly it can be told to behave better, apparently there are people
who would like to use it or variants like pip.  

For what it's worth

  $ pip search bzr

  bzr                       - Friendly distributed version control system
    INSTALLED: 2.1.2
    LATEST:    2.3.3

  $ pip -E virtual_env install bzr
  ...
  Downloading bzr-2.4b3.tar.gz (7.3Mb): 7.3Mb downloaded
  ...


Seems like a bug in pip to me.
