Bug Description

virtualenv 1.7 has a bug which causes problems in re-using virtualenvs, especially seen when used in the context of the tool tox (which we use for all of the test builders in OpenStack) The bug has been fixed in a point release, and the patch to do it is here:

https://github.com/pypa/virtualenv/commit/5cb7cd652953441a6696c15bdac3c4f9746dfaa1

The issue is described here:

http://code.google.com/p/pytox/issues/detail?id=27

Can we get at least this patch applied to tox in ubuntu before precise ships? I'll be a blocker for the OpenStack build farm to move to precise.
