Research direction
Start by reading bdist.py and the option handling for bdist_rpm and sdist. Trace how each command selects its tarball format, then determine the shared option name and behavior expected across both commands. Done means the formats are configured consistently and the bdist.py exception for bdist_rpm is no longer needed.

Description
tarball format inconcistent between bdist_rpm and sdist (and maybe other)
[bdist_rpm]
use-bzip2 = 1
[sdist]
formats = bztar
Can't it be unified? this is ugly to have different option name for the same thing depending on the context.
That would also help removing the following line from bdist.py:
# The following commands do not take a format option from bdist
no_format_option = ('bdist_rpm',)
