Two quick comments:
1. package_dir is evil - it's strongly recommended that you not use it, except maybe to specify the location of the directory *containing* packages (e.g. package_dir = {'': 'src'} if your packages are in a src/ subdirectory).
2. Setuptools doesn't "create a conflict with your Linux distribution's package manager", at least by any definition of that phrase that I can think of. Note that setuptools can build bdist_rpm packages, just like the distutils. Also, setuptools can install packages for non-root users.
