To avoid the need for .pth files, mainly.

Not really, but you could create a custom egg_info writer that will
reconfigure the bdist_rpm command at runtime based on that
information. See the setuptools documentation for more about egg-info
writers. You'll need some understanding of the distutils command framework
to do this effectively.
