Who calls pyvenv directly? People just use python3 -m venv which, as
people pointed out above, is expected by everyone to be fully working
and available with any python3 install _without_ separately installed
packages. Sure distributions have different conventions, but python was
always packaged with all core stuff contained on pretty much all
distributions includung Ubuntu. Therefore if you change that arbitrarly
for the core venv component, you should expect people to get caught by
surprise and wonder why Ubuntu's python is so broken until this is
changed.

Bug description:
  Hello,

  I noticed the following

  # fails
  python3.4 -m venv --clear python-venv
  Error: Command '['.../external/python-venv/bin/python3.4', '-Im', 'ensurepip', '--upgrade', '--default-pip']' returned non-zero exit status 1

  # works, but no pip
  python3.4 -m venv --clear --without-pip python-venv

  Thank you
