Cross compiling (even with this awesome tool) is not something an advanced user could do that easily i'm afraid.
IMO, advanced user just want to play around with Python and try some stuff on its NAS knowing a python reinstallation or update will clean up everything.

What are the cons for putting setuptools and pip in Python SPK? Except a few more kilobytes, that shouldn't hurt. It's not like it takes gigabytes.

Also, the best solution would be to have this switch but with the ability to put multiple packages in a Package Server, same package name (for dependencies), different displayname (Python 2.7 - Minimalist and Python 2.7). Unfortunately, I doubt it is possible due to how Package Center works.
