When I install using

python setup.py install

the barcode package is definitely missing in site-packages/reportlab. With
my patch applied it works.

I guess most people simply unpack reportlab and use it that way, that's
probably why nobody noticed that problem. Also, people can find and
install the old barcode extension - again, nobody complains ;)
