'easy_install' executable were still left behind and need to be removed
for the customizable 'executable' task argument to correctly work:
'_get_easy_install' should take care of all the functionality related to
determining the correct 'easy_install' executable to use.
This module supports `virtualenv_site_packages` as an option to control whether or not to include system packages when installing pip packages into a virtual environment.
The default is no, and when you say yes it explicitly it includes a flag to include site packages, otherwise it doesn't provide a flag.
Some versions of virtualenv by default include site packages and other versions by default do not.
This patch just makes both branches explicit, so `virtualenv_site_packages=no` really means no.
on Mint as it work on Debian, fix#4587.
PPAs are not supported however, since that's a Ubuntu specific feature
and mint is detected as a generic distribution and use a different
codename than the Ubuntu release it is based on, which mean that apt_repository
cannot add detect and add the proper url without a better heuristic.

The default behavior is to update_cache if changed.
If you add more then one repo, you may not want to update cache for every repo separately.
So you can now disable update_cache with this new option e.g. update_cache=no
Updating cache can also be handled using the apt module.
Packages which are half-installed are not adequately represented by
the .is_installed field of the apt.package.Package object. By using the
lower-level apt_pkg.Package object (which provides the .current_state
field), we can check for a partially-installed state more accurately.
Fixes#3421
Without this, the first call to the easy_install module with a new virtualenv
will only create the virtualenv without installing the intended package, since
the `_is_package_installed` check will succeed as running /usr/bin/easy_install
as non-root user will return permission denied error with empty stdout.
