Which can be used to install setuptools packages in a GNUstow-compatible way doesn't work with zope.interface.  I don't know why the zope.interface module is not loadable afterward.  We don't actually rely on this trick officially -- it isn't described in much detail in the README, and the web page describing it: [wiki:SetuptoolsAndGNUStow SetuptoolsAndGNUStow]  -- isn't complete yet.
