I finally gave in and created a virtualenv (with --system-site-packages, so it uses Debian-installed packages first) and always activate it as part of my login environment. Since then I've had no further problems with pip install (except for the rare occasion when Debian upgrades python and I have to regenerate a new venv).

I wish Python had one obvious way that just worked, instead of umpteen different approaches.
