Is this really needed? Our default builder builds wheels and installs those.

Can you explain what does not work correctly? What happens? Have you mentioned this issue upstream, considering building wheels is the way forward.

In mailnag-config plugins are not seen, then when closing mailnag-config it should start mailnag, but it can't with error No such file or directory: 'IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/usr/share/applications/mailnag.desktop'.
Then starting mailnag manually and trying to send email myself - there should be libnotify notification but there is none.
These things are not happening when these buildPhase and installPhase are here.
This is the patching setup.py does https://github.com/pulb/mailnag/blob/master/setup.py#L22

Which is an upstream issue pypa/setuptools#130

@FRidh Ok. What would be the temporary fix? Because at this stage the package is broken.

Motivation for this change
Revert back to use of setup.py which does some hidden patching. Otherwise plugins not seen in configurator and probably other bugs.
