Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue with python setup.py sdist and inspect the resulting egg tarball for setup_requires.txt. Compare the generated contents with the documentation, then trace the source path responsible for assembling the source distribution; done means the documented file is generated in the tarball or the documentation is corrected to match actual behavior.
