standard tasks don't call overridden tasks

[DanLipsitt]

I thought that if I overrode a command such as build, standard distutils tasks such as bdist would then call my version of the task instead of the original. This doesn't appear to be the case. Do I need to override every single task downstream from the one I want to change (bdist, bdist_wheel, etc.)?

Here's my example pavement.py:

from paver.easy import *
from paver.setuputils import setup

setup()

@task
def build():
    print('### running overridden build command ###')

When I run paver build, it prints out my message as expected. However, when I run paver bdist, it doesn't runs the standard build task instead of mine:

$ paver bdist
running bdist
running bdist_dumb
running build
installing to build/bdist.macosx-10.8-x86_64/dumb
running install
# etc...

Am I doing something wrong, or am I misunderstanding how paver is supposed to work?

I have tested this with paver 1.2.4 on python 2.7 and 3.5.

Note to self, still a thing. Probably to be solved with #162
