There are cases where projects do this in setup.py:

for scheme in INSTALL_SCHEMES.values():

    scheme['data'] = scheme['purelib']

e.g.  https://github.com/celery/django-celery/blob/master/setup.py#L80

so for the sdist install, data ends up relative to site-packages, whereas for the whl install, it ends up relative to sys.prefix
