[Bug 1774419] Re: easy_install command is missing

[Cody Lee]

Having `easy_install` available (or something similar) is likely an
ongoing need for at least one reason. If a user wants their system to
stay on the latest/upstream version of pip, one sensible way of doing
this is to install the `python-setuptools` package and use
`easy_install` to install `pip` straight from PyPi, and then from that
point forward use `pip install -U pip` to keep it up to date.
