Now that there are no issues with easy_install Django

I think at least one BDFL would argue that pip is a more important (perhaps exclusively so) inclusion --
"Really, you shouldn’t be using easy_install any more — please switch to pip." [1]
I suggest amending this to include both, or pip only.

This is tightly linked to #9112 which is a release blocker. For the sake of clarity, I'm marking this ticket as a release blocker too.

While I totally agree this needs to be done, we shouldn't recommend installing the python-pip
package as it is incredibly out of date on most distributions.
Instead I'd suggest to follow the installation instructions on http://www.pip-installer.org/en/latest/installing.html
